Let's Talk Cyclecars

1913 Warne Cyclecar W/ 1000cc J.A.P. V-twin and belt drive.

 

Bob Hudson spares are available for STD service items , as Hudson chassis were used in railton and brough superior cars

That warne car looks very similar to a rollo Robin owned for many years

 

Very nice little cyclecar

Here's another picture of the car that belongs to the engine in posts 3082,3083,and3084. Archie Frazer-Nash behind the wheel.

 

Thanks. I was pretty dissapointed when I received the car and found that the original rear axle had been swapped for a more modern unit because I really wanted to retain the Austin's mechanical brakes to keep with the motorcycle theme. I searched high and low for an original unit but struck out, so I decided to go with mechanical calipers to compliment the Girling fronts. In the end, I think it's all for the best as the Midget/Sprite rear is quite light with its sheetmetal housing and aluminum differential. And as an added bonus parts are readily available. I've left plenty of adjustability in the brake system and did my best to improve some of the systems original weaknesses, so it will be interesting to see how it all performs. My motto has always been to make it stop before you make it go. If all goes as planned, this cycle car should do both nicely.

 

This is a very cool picture. I think I might try to do something similar as my build progresses. Kinda reminds me of medical textbooks with the printing on clear plastic overlays. Usually the best parts of vehicle designs are covered up. i guess that's why I love cyclecars, because much like a motorcycle you can see how the exposed systems work.

That might have been me. I asked for structural information on the Laboratoire.

Thanks you.

I'm kinda partial to this one.... AND the GN factory floor images!

 

The Monaco racing at Snetterton last Sunday...

 

Is that a 3-litre Sunbeam in the background?

 

Hi Herb,
Perhaps you'll appreciate the clever simplicity of this one.





Only problem will be finding some-one to put a "sports grind" on the cam for me.

Cheers, Daryl.

 

Opps should read,

Just grind some off the base circle to give more lift


Just gring some off the base circle of the cam to I've you more lift

 

How about an angle grinder?

 

Very nice gallery! thank you

 

looks austin-ish from here.

 

Hi ... Looks like a sidevalve V twin off a Howard 8 rotary hoe...magneto drive on left off the camshaft........

 

How about an angle grinder?

.......and oil pump drive on the right.

Real close, the 8 is air-cooled. This is the water-cooled 12.
I've been looking for one for years, got the perfect little car to put it in.

 

1928 Amilcar CS

 

True. I didn't pay attention to the size of the people standing beside it. If that were a Sunbeam those guys would be nine feet tall ...

 

Daryl--you bet your sweet bippy I do!!
I would think that if you can find a cam grinder that will "waste" enough grinding wheel to dress it on an angle, a regrind would be possible. Would have to take the wheel off and turn it over to do the other two cams (and redress-but this time just a little) Some flathead Harley cams were on an angle, but no where that much and people reground them. You might find someone to take the job on just so they can take a "look what I can do" photo.

Don't give up too easily on this--I'd like to see it in a car!!

And BTW--thanks--I love that kind of stuff!

Herb

 

Would love to see a picture of the whole engine
