close but no. Its an Alvis... but not a TB21.

Are you sure??

Have a look here.... Scroll down and open Alvis TB21 (external link) - it's the actual car from your photo (same registration)

I originally put it as an Alvis TB14 after seeing a very similar car on another site...but I then came across the link above. If it's not a TB21 (which according to the website it is....) then it must be a TB14 surely??

This website (external link) also lists the very same car as a TB21 with a TA21 shown below.

The plot thickens! :lol:

Your info is probably a lot more accurate than half the stuff shown on the net? Just look up TB21 or TA21 on google and you'll come across quite a lot of conflicting stuff.

I'm not disputing you in any way...;)

I'll post an image up a bit later - but would prefer if TooTall could step in soon and reclaim his turn that he lost somewhere back?

Way off the mark I'm afraid, but good guesses all the same....:cool: (keep with the 'lower volume' stuff though ;))

It's pretty easy anyway.....the 'cloned' dash found in the early Audi A3 or Seat Leon (VAG 'A' Platform dashboard :rolleyes:) - this one looks like the A3 version judging by the door cards?

My god - that was such an AWESOME car!! Did you know you could use all gears in reverse? You'd need to be pretty brave to do it though....:lol:

Maybe not quite that low volume! Made in the thousands, not by the handful or by the million.....;)

Only two guesses?

Here's another shot to help you a little:

It's one of those cars that's really hard to find anything that doesn't give it away too easily!

I'll guess another out of my bumb. Lotus R340?

Better yet, is it a lightweight/low power go-kart or is it a low weight, high power supercar?
