Afternoon all
Dudders is your host this week:
Jenson CV8
Born and bred in the Black Country. This was one of the fastest cars of its time using a 6 litre Chrysler engine with 366BHP. Reaching speeds of 136mph in the mid 60s a truly fantastic machine. Looks decent too!
Jewel Model B
At the other end of the spectrum an early 20th century knockabout with a massive 8BHP!
Here’s a copy and paste section for the nerds...
Close inspection of this car reveals that the 'Jewel' is just that, for the mechanical or engineer-minded. The car appears beautifully and thoughtfully designed. Its bodywork sits atop a transverse mounted, fully elliptic leaf spring at the front and on either side at the rear, which will no doubt give a comfortable ride. The supporting bracketry throughout the car, from the body mountings to the wing stays, has shapely curves and the car is generally a joy to the eye. While on the mechanical side, the purposeful 8hp water cooled motor is known not only for its reliability but also for its torque, some claiming that these cars will lift their front wheels on 'take off'!
And to finish it off a 3 wheeler!...
JMB 3 wheeler
2 seats 3 wheels and apparently very dodgy cornering but it looks very nice.
Get voting!
