A road scorching 10 HP I believe.

Just A Car Guy: the Woody Golf Buggy, designed by Lord March (Goodwood), built by Andy Dance, fabricator and frequent collaborator with Goodwood to build carts, wacky racers, and art deco garages

In 2007 ... rather than entertain standard ‘plastic’ golf buggies, the Earl of March commissioned buggies based on a vehicle his grandfather had designed and built in the 1930s.

That revolutionary car was called the Brakenvan and it was distinctive for its then-groundbreaking commodious design and ash-wood framed body. Factors like wheel-size were a big aesthetic obstacle, an issue finally overcome by developing ‘aerodyn’ spats to cover them.

I know this is a multiple repeat, but these photos are just so pretty. Must be the black lacquer paint I assume.

That's what you call 'over-restored'.

I went looking for any new pictures of a really pretty car (the Type 64 looks pin-headed to me), the Volkhart-Saggita V2. Google delivers:

First time I've seen it in silver. Weren't there two of them?

Google says it's on that page but I couldn't find it.

I'll say it again. Someone needs to walk around that car with a smartphone and take about 200 pictures that can be stitched together into a uniform polygon mesh that can be deconstructed into a box model with hard and soft edges. That could then be reprocessed further to feed input to a 3D printer. Or Pepakura Designer.

Google also showed me this from this very thread, two years ago. Remember? I didn't.

niky liked the Z-shape incorporated into the side vent. I like the way the leather hood strap is incorporated into the side vent.

Here's why I said that:

Flat paint, flat skirts.

OTOH, here's the interior of the black replica with it's 'bell-cord' door pull and textured fabrics.



I've seen a color picture of the original interior and it was more oatmeal colored than gray. Good German carpeting, & etc. It was like a supercar of the 1930s, but without the V12.

This time I'm doing two posts from one JACG story. They are about Nubar Gulbenkian's cars. The London taxi with a Rolls-Royce engine swap is in Un-aerodynamic cars...

here is the Rolls-Royce with front wheel skirts and a laid-back grille.
