Any explanation for this that anyone can offer? Back to top DaveGibson Supercharged My Car: Lexus IS250 SE-I Auto.

It's a Fletcher Ogle GT built in 1966 to race and first registered for the road in 1970 (IIRC). This car has Mini Cooper running gear and was raced at the Nurburgring in the late sixties. Apparently this a transition model between the earlier Ogle and the later Fletcher, with a restyled front end only as opposed to the restyled front and rear of the Fletcher. Paul is restoring it to how it looked originally, hence the difference in front ends even between the different photos, of which mine are the most recent. This is a shot I got of an earlier Ogle GT (with the different front end) racing at Knockhill last month: [img] Damn you lot know your cars!

Having said that, my first thought was that it appeared to have some relationship to a Mini Marcos which is confirmed by the link I posted.

Paul (the GT's owner) has been really chuffed to find he has a car with some history. _________________ It's so cold right now that I'm thinking of catching gonorrhoea just for the burning sensation.
