There is also a great picture of the car in its later Hudson engined 'Triangle Special' form in the latest vscc bulletin. I have often wondered if the original minor chassis survived for this car after Ted Loyd-Jones re-built the car. It should be easy to identify as I think it is suppose to have extra cross members. Perhaps it was used for a different special?

Fascinating! It says that the wheelbase was shortened and then quotes it as 7' which is 6" longer than a Minor! :?
