  • The new working thumbnail, Notice from the tail, more inspiration from the Sandford.

  • Side view of new working thumbnail.

  • A 1927 Sandford Grand Sport, one of many inspiring autos

  • Another source of inspiration: the rear-engined 1938 Ardex.

“Temp Name = Troika”
This is one of my later thumbnail sketches of a "car" I plan to build someday (depending on how much of the next income-tax-return I can save back). I've done some planishing and metal fabbing of other types in my time, so I'm thinking of using T-6 aluminum for the bodywork. And, since I was thinking of making this one street-legal, I'd planned to fit it with either a CL350 or CL400 engine and rear frame. Those old Hondas had a wonderful exhaust note and loads of torque. I'll need to be sure the frame is robust enough, but it'll sound beautiful.

P.S.: Interesting name TROIKA! Meaning the same in Russian and my Serbian language. (everything connected with the number THREE). Zoran
