Anyone know much about these? The V12 two seater looks like a fun jigger.http://www.vanwallcars.com/html/hist...internatio.htm.

Re: Vanwall

Hi Pete,

Yeah I've seen these before. They look fantastic but I think they look a bit big, or maybe the driver is a jockey...

Top Gear did a bit on it a couple of years ago. Series 7 episode 2.

Re: Vanwall

Otherwise previously known as Ronart...

chassis made by the same company that does replacement Lotus chassis for Esprit and Elans...nice work.

I saw them at Goodwood a few years ago...great looking car but overscaled as Tim says

Re: Vanwall

Vanwalls are nice, my favorite is the streamliner
www.costins.net - Misc

Must admit seeing the replica, I agree with the comments above looked a bit big, plus sounded very tame, also the tyre wheelguards were a bit strange.

Re: Vanwall

Went to the Ronart site, but it wasn't responding.
Careful!
