Is this cool or what? I have never heard of, or seen this car since. I took this at Olton Park, UK in the summer of '65. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

Cool indeed - and so is the coincidence! I was at that meeting, and remember seeing that very car!
I see there's a 23 just in front of it, and a couple of 750s in the background.
I used to live in Cheshire back then - seems a lifetime ago until you get a reminder like that.

BTW - Oulton Park. I was there last in October 2005 on a reminiscence tour.
 
Small world! There were some great cars at that meet, I will try and find some other picks I have and post them. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/driving.gif

Do you know anything about the car? It looks like the Costin Eleven coupe but the pictures I've seen of the Costin car didn't have a rear spoiler, and had the typical almost non-existent wheel cutouts of the Eleven. I'm thinking it might be that car after a few years.

I wonder if the doors were hinged at the bottom like the regular Elevens. If so, imagine getting in and out of that coupe.

Beautiful car.
