Anyone have any idea what car this is, just curious ? Assume a kit car of sorts ?
Spotted in carpark of Bristol Aerospace Museum Filton.
Cannot help with identification, but would hazard a guess that it was not a road legal vehicle. Did it sport a rear number plate?
Front suspension and brake cooling would be “interesting”…
It had a rear standard yellow plate so assume legal.
Fascinating; clearly I was well off the mark. If you have a pic with the reg then you could put it on the gov.uk MOT checker; it might provide some info?
I didn’t get a rear photo unfortunately.
Well with lots of Googling I’ve come up with nothing. However the wife says it looks like one of the Clangers.
That is a nice looking car - almost looks like the nose of an aircraft.
From the title I thought you may have come across this
Certainly not an Elio (for info on this sorry saga look up “Elio Owners Club”. How to pay US $1,000 for a T shirt…).
Looks to me like a one-off, built by a clever enthusiast - who possibly worked at an aircraft factory, and ‘accidentally’ took an (unidentified) complete cockpit canopy home with him/her. The car’s probably been designed around it.
Have you tried sending the pic’ to the Museum? Might belong to a member of staff or volunteer, or maybe a known regular visitor?
if a self-build it looks like the sort of thing an aerospace engineer might come up with.
I couldn’t find anything on line for it either. It is Concordes 50th anniversary and there was a lot of top folk including ex pilots around so as you say maybe one of theirs. Wish i had taken more photos as even the “cockpit” inside resembled an aircraft.
Have shot them an email with photo to see if they know anything about it.
Maybe an ex Concorde pilot with withdrawal symptoms !
