Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L 2,874 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Looks like a replica kit car. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pat Riot, SASS #13748 28,699 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It’s a Morgan. Made in Britain. Cool cars. They have wooden frames. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 3,394 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Hmmm... I think Injun and JBar may both be correct. The pregnant whale boot is un-Morgan like, and closer to a kit car 1937 Jag design; the seperate chrome headlight cans do not resemble Morgan designs, which aerodynamically integrated the lights into swept back body colored cowlings; the seperate brake light assembly and flat bar chrome bumpers are not Morgan style, and are closer to hardware items commonly used by kit car builders; the door cutdown is fully rounded at the bottom, unlike the Morgan, which is interrupted at the rear edge by a rising body panel. My vote goes to the kit car analysis. Images posted below of (1) Morgan and (2) 1937 Jag kit car. LL Edited April 21 by Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alpo 7,745 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It slightly out of focus in the first picture, but you blow the second two up big enough you can clearly see that pouncing puma hood ornament. Real or Kit, I got no idea. But I'm going to have to agree with the others about Jaguar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ozark Okie 27 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Kit replica of Jaguar SS100. How do you like the spare tire...."Remington"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 1,045 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Here I was thinking an early MG. I think the kit car is the right answer to this one Quote Link to post Share on other sites

irish ike, SASS #43615 1,321 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Kit car, Ford Tail lights, clearance lighting, spoke rims and tire size and tires are wrong. Bumper is Ford. It's a conglomeration of stuff. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 1,045 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Went back to look at the exhaust mentioned above, looks like that "boot" does have an air-cooled bug engine in it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 6,237 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I thought "Kit!" as soon as I saw the wooden dash - fairly plain piece of wood, with a "home-finished, add-on" look. Then I immediately looked at the exhaust pipes - pre-catalytic converter VW. Some of those old VW kit cars were pretty cool... and some were downright absurd. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 3,121 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The tires are the first clue it’s a kit car, then the VW exhaust confirms it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tequila Shooter 1,774 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 At least to me on the body right of the spare tire it looks like a strip of LED lights are frenched in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like the wheelbase is much too long and the wheels are much too big. I agree with the replica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
