Diatto, here's a real one.
We must avoid torturing our brains with false problems, it occupies but it can annoy. In jest!

What's the story Rhys?  Was it yours?  Where, when, what was the event?

The car  was claimed by the owner to be a genuine 1923(I think I have the year correct) Targa Florio entrant, similar to that driven by Nuvolari. I am unsure how accurate that claim is. However I was asked to drive it at the Bromyard Festival of Speed in 2017 as well as a number of road miles. It was also on the cards to drive at a number of other events, but then exported to NZ.
It's a neat car to drive, quick, and thank goodness brilliant brakes, as the Ferrari P4 I was behind suddenly did a panic stop from above 60 mph. As with many of those cars, throttle pedal in the middle, brake to the right, instinctively I got the correct pedal!

Thanks for posting these Stefan
These last two (Frazer Nash and GN) are probably going to be the inspiration car I next build as I have the components for the quarter elliptical springs and a basic chassis design. I have not made my mind up between Akela or a 1936 Frazer Nash monoposto. Getting good images of the monoposto is quite tricky
