I am wondering what happened to Dorset Horn? Where was it from (Dorset I would guess, but where in Dorset?) and does it still exist? Any shots of it would be cool too.
Yep he's right, i have it now. Tiki Monkey Mk1 has past on but will not be forgotten. Currently called "GasolineScream" and is being revamped/modded as we speak. Will remain very much an entry level car, keeping pinto power and the nostalga looks. The chassis is off Dorset Horn but not sure which chassis number, think it was the original. The car is in its first look of "Tki Monkey" before the Ruby body went on using a 23T body off an old meth burner way back when. The Ruby body will resurace on Scotts new "Tiki Monkey" i think. Racing RWYB's and Wild Bunch hopefully. My rookie year, costing me a fortune already but cant wait:tup:
The reason I ask about the car, besides my current A35 project, is that back when I was looking for a suitable body for my build, I heard from a friend of my dads that he knew of a fibreglass A35 body from a dragster, in a field somewhere. I simply wondered if it had anything to do with Dorset Horn, perhaps a previous shell.
I showed Dick this thread, and this is what he came back with ..
'the only Horn body that I didn't wreck or alter to a next generation was Henry's Revenge. That body was inside the original mould in a field at the back of John Powis's garage, so I expect that's where someone saw the old body'. Hope this helps ..
Ok, it is an old Dorset Horn body, apparently in a field and complete with body moulds!! It is just sitting in a field by the sounds of things, I'll hopefully give more info soon, as I haven't yet seen it.
I've got a video in the loft somewhere of a documentary type film of both Dorset Horn & the Fire ***** 100E bodied Altered on a weekend away at the Pod, it ends with incar footage of one of them rolling, Fire ***** I think.
Looking at those photos makes you wonder why more people don't build more English bodied, '70's styled Altered for RWYB's etc.
Both these rolled at blackbushe way back in the seventies as well ! Mk 1's ? same weekend one after the other if memory serves me right.
