    Thinking it might be a very old Logghe ? Not sure what driveline was.

    did you look through this?

    I got about half way through...nothing like it at all (look for the sharply angled rear bars, and the very high top frame rail at the front)

    It looks a little "rustic" to be a Logghe. From the beginning, the Logghe brothers had access to their family's stamping company shops that made components for the auto industry. They would have been able to bend up curved sections and square things up nicely.

    That one I'd call a bit sketchy. I doubt that it would pass even the most lax tech inspection at a strip today even with a small mild engine that wasn't capable of a lot.

    Some projects are stillborn. They never make a pass. They never make it down the drag strip. They get abandoned and never completed, often bypassed by evolving sanctioning body regulations, that make it unfeasible to continue and unable to pass tech inspections.
    Unfortunately not every unearthed derelict project will have a history or a provenance. Some suffered from insufficient funding or inadequate fabricating expertise and were abandoned.

    Your acquisition may have a history worth investigating. But equally possible is the probability that it doesn't. It was abandoned before the expense of completing the front suspension and steering and fuel system and even the front motor mounts. If you are unable to find any history of the car it may be that there wasn't any.

    Eyes wide open buddy. This journey may unearth somethng interesting, or it may be a dead end.

    Great page thank you !!
    If it's Homespun that's fine, was more trying to get an idea what front half may have looked like. Guess it will look how I make it


     
  7. Has the look of a homegrown '50's project.
