7 based sand race car - Davemayle - 28-12-2017
Thought this little hill climb/sand race car (which is located in Guernsey) may be of interest. I think there is at least one member on this forum that lives in Guernsey? Nice project......

I rather like that, but it looks like it's only for midget drivers!

I'm with you Mike, I like that.
Interesting you say miget racer, I know the Americans were big on midget racing.
Midget cars that is
I wonder what engine it has, doesn't look enough room for a seven engine.

I heard about it a year or 2 ago.It doesn't interest me personally having enough Austin projects to last me out.
If anyone is seriously interested I'm happy to look at it for you.
I wouldn't fancy taking it up the Val des Terres with a suitable 500 Norton engine,Too close to the accident for me!

I remember the Le Gallez & Martini specials on the Terres but this must have been many rears prior to those being built.

I'd be interested in this as I've got a jap v twin that might look better here rather than sitting in a crate. Any information gratefully received.

Thought you would have taken a look. Just out of curiosity.
There looks like some interesting shapes under the tarps.
Directly above the windscreen looks like a Bugatti type 35, next to it a nice vintage Van, then an austin twenty open tourer.
