Who knows what this is? Blob knows so dont tell!
-
Ah, but you forget I was there also... Them be my photos I sent you, so presumibly I'm out of the contest too? ;D
-
I was wondering where the pix came from!! I completely forgot about that Stuart. Oh yes your out of the contest but thanks for reminding me.
-
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.
-
Well, since I saw it, I keep thinking "Kleinschnittger"...
-
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.
-
The first clue then. Think lawn mower.
-
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.

If it is an Atco Trainer special it is no use without the left one to make a pair!
There is a standard Atco Trainer in a garage car showroom a few miles from here. I do not recall the wheels being like that though. Then memory is fickle. I have an Atco that was given to me. Quality bit of kit but it is a lawn mower you can ride behind.
-
If you google images Atco trainer you can see the wheels are the same, they all have that row or nuts around the outer edge and around the centre. The dish profile of the wheels appear to vary a little with the ones I have seen. Great little things, I would love to own one.
