mike324 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Can anyone help ID the the white car in the middle? It looks a lot like a lancia stratos but its not, perhaps its a kit car? Took this pic while exploring places to fish, passed by the Jetsada Technik Museum. Museum itself has a couple of interesting old cars. There are probably hundreds of old cars parked outside and in warehouses beside the museum. They are not for sale, its this guys own private collection. I heard he only sells direct to the government, vehicles like hummers or only to friends he knows. On the opposite side, he has started an aviation museum as well, but its not open to the public yet. Museum entrance is free. The pic is from the warehouse side, no entrance allowed. Edited September 19, 2014 by mike324 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loptr Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) That's a Sterling or perhaps a Cimbria kit car, manufactured and sold in the US back in the 80's... The body mounts on a shortened VW Bug chassis... They were not engineered or manufactured well and the fit & finish was poor without doing lots on work on them... Getting the gull-wing doors to work properly was a real pain... Edited September 19, 2014 by Loptr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) That green car with the rusty roof to the left looks like a Mazda (???) like one of the first model they sold in Oz....except the louvers in the back could suggest rear engine.

Woodsie888 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 looks like a VW-based kit car with glass-fibre body. "Avante" / "Sebring" perhaps?

WarpSpeed Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) what was that wing attached too? wow! love this place already: http://www.google.com/maps/views/view/streetview/thailand-highlights/jesada-technik-museum/ql6kJUgni9JS1_9pPe591w?gl=us&heading=34&pitch=80&fovy=75 Yeah, pretty nice, cool link too, well done, should be closed in and climate controlled to preserve the cars better but, he has quite a collection of BMW's, Mercs, I even see a later model Lincoln limo in the back there. As to the OP I think either Wilco or Woodsie is correct though it's not an Avante, it may be a Sebring though or the Eureka as Woodsie notes but it is definitely on a VW chassis and rear engined and does not have an engine in it now as the suspension is unloaded. Reconsidering I think it's a Fiberfab FT Bonito kit car with a few changes to it's shape, you could put pretty much whatever tail lights you wanted on it but here's one with nearly identical lights and profile but the rear spoiler may have been added like so many others have on other kits. These are built on VW chassis.. http://gomotors.net/Fiberfab/Fiberfab-Bonito-FT/photos.html?pic=3 Edited September 19, 2014 by WarpSpeed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xen Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) At a guess i think it could be a Boswell kit car from Oz in the sixties. Everyone looks slightly different/individual/customised with tail lights etc being chosen by the owner/ builder. If i remember rightly they were usually fitted with a red Holden 186 motor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolwell Edited September 19, 2014 by xen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpeed Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) Ermm the car in question is rear engined and is most definitely on a VW chassis, look at the rear camber without the engine in it just like a VW bug.. It's also shorter wheel base too. Edited September 20, 2014 by WarpSpeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
