Connaught Type-D

[Kev946]

Saw one of these outside a specialist dealer yesterday. Took me ages to found out what it was.

 

Interesting car although not too pretty. Has a hint of 350z about it. Not sure on price but suspect big money.

From certain angles you really would think it was a Z.

From certain angles you really would think it was a Z.

 

The rear in particular. Maybe it was the same designer. He did come from Leicester.

 

Intersting also is the fact it's a 2 litre V10 with 300 bhp.

This angle caught my eye

been around for a while but not seen one on the road. Would like to hear the exhaust with a 2ltr V10 providing the noise

to the front view Reminds me of something from bluepeter where they make a car out of cardboard boxes, the front lookes like its been style with bit of cardboard, nothing fits and the headlamps look awefull. Like when suburu made that mistake with similar headlights

I have always loved this car. I have seen it at various shows and on the back of transporter on the M1!

 

Very Zagota-esk
