That car does look like a coupe version of an RGS Atalanta. The RGS being Richard (Dick) Shattock. Might explain the 'Shattock' IFS statement in...
Having a lathe is great, but if you're not careful, it might not stop with just one lathe... My Smart & Brown Model 'A' toolroom lathe bought by...
Looks like a 30 VIG Zenith, Original fitment to a fair few larger Brit 4 cylinder cars. These were a popular upgrade for the 1172cc British Ford...
Here's my 1950 3100. Bought it back to the UK from the USA in 2005. It did run and drive back then but really needed some work. This is what it...
Needed a hammer with a radiused head for working on an inside curve; tried using an ordinary crosspein hammer but it was marking the panel....
There's nothing but Iron or Steel components in the two '28 Chevrolet heads I have here. On a very rusty '28 head I restored ten or so years ago,...
It is a late Austin Seven chassis, the wider wheels on the rear of the car are the 16" wheels fitted to most of the 'export' Longbridge built...
Recogised that as the Richard Bolster special. Unfortunately the Hemmings weblink didn't work for me, but there is some detail on the car from...
Interesting article, thanks for posting. Looks to be quite a bit of Lotus Six inspiration for the Nota offering there.
Interesting photos, not sure they are of the same car at the same event though. In the first photo the car has wider wheels at the rear, mudguards...
One of Odgie Danaan's many creations -A7 chassis with Honda CX motor. Did quite a respectable ET at a 'run what you brung' at the old Shakespeare...
An interesting article.. 'Standard production nearly all respects' -Well, apart from having a billet crank, huge blower, 25 studs to hold down...
[IMG] Here's a photo I took last year that has one of the 'Rubber Duck' (as they were usually called) factory race cars; This has the later nose,...
Here's my first car, it's also my avatar. A 1932 Austin Seven Special. I bought it from my eldest brother in 1971 when I was 16. My brother didn't...
Video of the same car being driven in this post... https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/specials.720448/page-20#post-12415285
In case you haven't seen it already, there's a very similar car on page 24 of this thread.....
Interesting special there. I wonder if it still has the Morris 8 gearbox? this four speed unit will fit straight onto the back of the 1172cc Ford...
This is a long lived thread...I always use the home made tool in this photo. The 'everyday' bearing puller in the top of the photo is almost...
This is my Avatar car, it's been fitted with a pair of Early post war Ford 'Anglia' rear lights for a very long time now. The Dagenham built cars...
Lots in my Tin, but sadly nothing bigger than this. [IMG]
Would be good if you could put up the dimensions of the bearing. Someone may have one that fits. I can't be the only person with a large tin of...
Great find. That looks like a really substantial piece of kit, you should have some fun with that.
Probably not the weather anyone would choose for walking round a swapmeet. The journey here was around 3500 miles for me; listening to some...
A few oldies I snapped yesterday and today. [IMG] Oldsmobile, seems incredible that this car is from the same manufacturer that made the 'Curved...
Just posting to put on record record my thanks to Matt and the team at Iron Trap Garage for their help getting a set of rods and bearings to me...

Thanks very much for that generous offer, I'll be in touch.
I'm coming over for the fall Carlisle and Hershey shows. While I'm in the USA I'd like to buy a set of these Ford Model 'A' rods and a set of...
Great photos, from the front end and narrow rear track, this car looks like it was Frazer Nash based.
Rare car; only a handful of survivors. It's an Austin Seven 'Speedy' sports. Actually this one has replica bodywork on a factory 'sports' chassis....
