Great video and awesome car!
Looks in pretty good shape
Lovely 60s sports car
, good luck with the project
I live in California, own a 1969 Marcos GT and drive a Puma GTE as my daily driver. Thought I was car knowledgeable until I saw your Typhoon. Never heard of it. The build and fit looks exceptional. Love the clam-shell bonnet. Very attractive car. Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side. 😢 Thanks for the video.
I was an apprentice mech starting 1968, the garage was about 200 yds from Tornado cars in Mill End Rickmansworth. We used to do work for them.
A great find - there can't be many around but at least you should be able to get engine parts ok. Good luck with the rebuild - I'll look forward to updates 👍
Wow man! That car is awesome, looks are off the chart!
in the day,i used to spectate at a lot of club race meetings & although i dont personally recall the typhoon racing(i expect it did) i quite often saw the talisman racing & thought it was agood-looking car.anyway,best of luck with the rebuild.
Great catch and an enlightening video. I remember Tornado from the mid-Sixties. It came up as a part of my attempts to find and import some Marcos Engineering bits for my Austin Mini Cooper 1071S.
Thanks Rollin’ Man! Great video.
Thanks for watching!
I'm 70, and pretty car savvy. Guess not. First time I've heard of the tornado. Interesting car. Good luck with resto. 👍
Great work mate. One of the more stylish / better designed fiberglass cars by far. If I lived in England I'd swap you my Lotus 7! Thanks and best wishes. 👍
Very Cool 😎
Really neat looking car. Look forward to any restoration vids in the future.
I love the story about Hussein.
Fascinating, love the in-depth history of this car, what a brilliant story, good luck with the restoration, look forward to more updates rolling man 🙏
Glad you enjoyed it
One of my great uncles had one under a cover on his drive right until he passed away in 1992. I always liked the look of it and his wife wanted to pass it to me but their son decided to pass it to the owners club instead. Much as I was annoyed at the time it was probably for the best as I was at Uni and would probably have bodged any work involved! I think the owners club were quite active so worth looking them up for info / tech advice. I know some of the gauges in my great uncle’s came from WW2 aircraft and looked all the cooler because of it. He was quite a character, liked a drink and daily drove an immaculate MGB GT right into his seventies.
Content de découvrir un constructeur que je ne connaissais pas. Superbe petit roadster au design qui rappelle un peu l’avant d’une italienne (Ferrari 250) et l’arrière d’une américaine (Ford Cobra) de la même époque. La base de restauration semble saine même s’il y a du boulot ! ;-)
i know some one who has one and uses it daily in the summer wicked looking car but the brakes well that is another thing drums all round and the narrow wheels with cross ply tyers oh what fun
A very good car then and some excellent examples on the road still. You will have lots of fun with it. The chassis was amazingly rigid of its type.
Still have the lapel badge .
That was a very interesting vid.
Subbed. 😊
Cheers buddy
See if you can find a copy of car Mechanics from November 1959 there's an article on building one for £300.
That's a rare car, as rare as a Fairthorpe
Hello mate, interesting video!
I always liked this body type, on account of it's sexy slim waist! (If you know what I mean?😉)
Very reminiscent of the Stirling Moss Mille Miglia Mercedes.
I owned a 1959 Ashley 1172 Roadster for a brief moment. I sold it to raise the deposit for my first house.
It was in EXACTLY the same state as your car there, but the only reason I bought it was because being pre 1960, the HSCC told me (The Historic Sports Car Club) it was eligible for making the grid at some great races where I could be side by side with some awesome machines.
But, I met a girl with incredible breasts, and these seemed more important than anything else at the time so I sold the car and bought a house.
I look forward to following your progress.
Best wishes from an Englishman making armour in a French forest.
