I doubt it will be a mystery for long, this cars been doing the autojumble circuit for a while, so you might as well exclude all the regular jumblers too!

That looks good Jonathan, better than the mystery car which is a real microcar underneath. Well .jumblers aside, no one has guessed it yet.

It looks like a coal scuttle. Kleinschnittger? Kiefft?

Ah ha. The old Bathfinder. So much sweater to use the performance than the DHC touring version. Note its finished in enamel save the badge that looks like a plughole. In line with upper class inbreeding it is painted number 2 to assist in potty training. Nursey always tried to get them to find the right room in the house first. Hence the phrase S*** of a S***** which has come down to us from toffs and Brookland juniors.

Klienschnittger, Kieft and Knott. Its the KKK of MIcrodom that hate black cars and hide there own under sheets in the garage. When at rallies they tend to hog the barbecue with untidy sausage cooking, cruciform style.

Good name for a micro delivery truck. The Cole Scuttle.

Ah yes, the Flymo Electric Championship!


So it must be the love-child of a coal scuttle and an Atco Junior?

I would say its a Suffolk colt but its the wrong colour and the grass box is missing.

As someone mentioned the word Atco, I can reveal that its an Atco trainer with special one off racer body. It does the autojumble rounds and somehow never finds a buyer, most likely because of the price!

Clinton were used on lawn mowers via Trojan. Aston Clinton is near Wendover so its a sort of Aston Martin. Case solved.
