Let's Talk Cyclecars

"Specials" is a great book!

 

I lucked into a copy of that book by Bolster on ebay for 15 bucks!!!

 

Fred, ​

Originals are above 100 £££ and used something under!
In my youth, I didn't have money for it and now still do not have! Pity and shame!

P.S.: I will try to attach PDF copy with a few first pages from the book!

Hey Guys....I recently was looking at a magazine on the newstand that had a Special featured in it that used a Honda CX 500 engine coupled to an Austin trans (for reverse) . It had been built by an English guy and used as a lark to do Hillclimbs with (the dirt kind, trials I think you call them) I don`t have a copy, I think it was Old School Rods or a similar rag. The car was really neatly done, though. Any of you English guys know anything about this?

 

GN. Might be a repeat post?

Look up his "shedster ". I think you will like it. It used a Ford Popular/Anglia frame and running gear, mixed and matched from various years, and the little flathead 4. He hand built the body. He drives the wheels of the thing.

Mine is a third printing but I'm only interested in the content so I'm happy.

 

The pitch of the chains will be 3/4inch. Using this you can scale the rest, bearing in mind that most dimensions will be in inches or traditional fractionl inches.

Hello there,​

I just found nice forum with a lot of photos with ultra-light and ultra-simple British specials from before the Second World War. It seems that they were raced over grass-tracks and sometimes on macadam hill-climbs. At the same tracks were raced "normal" specials and quite big sport cars..





























For the first time, I saw such specials and such races!
More about that later...

Ciao,
Zoran​
