Nope. GSM Dart was a local (to me) manufacturer. www.gsmcarclub.co.za/index.html Reply to this message | Report message

Since Dodge Make a Dart and also a Viper is it stretching things too far that somebody has produced a special edition Dart and followed the name theme? Reply to this message | Report message

I've been considering, and trying to track down some hybrid kit car (Daimler Dart/Dodge Dart/Shelby) that might have existed. Was there ever a Shelby version of the Dodge Dart? Either way it was clearly a death trap if someone died hitting a tree in their drive! Last edited by: Zero on Wed 30 Mar 16 at 19:36 Reply to this message | Report message

...not many drives on that road, and of those that there are, there are some (very) long ones. ...car like a Cobra Dart could be doing almost warp speed before the end of one of those..... Reply to this message | Report message

...not many drives on that road... Other reports have it as the drive of 'his £500,000 home'. Surrey may be cheaper (!) but in this part of the world, £500,000 might buy a drive long enough to get up lethal speed - and maybe leave enough for a lockup garage. Not sure what he'd have lived in, though. Reply to this message | Report message

The trouble with cars like that, no matter how much fun they are, is that the crumple zone is actually your legs. I had a Westfield at one time ( not sure if I've ever gone into any detail about that ) but it did always slightly occur that a mistake wouldn't just be expensive.

Fibreglass body too, nice and lightweight. You could hitch one up to the back of your motor/home/shed/caravan/van thingy. Reply to this message | Report message

....aye, but I couldn't buy that. It would cost more than my shoes! Reply to this message | Report message

It does look a bit like the sort of car one could convincingly drive in slip on shoes. Lounge lizard's car. Slightly stained blazer and a once good but now marginally frayed shirt. Sudden loss of wallet when it's your round sort of thing... ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

>> Bang on ! >> There's a now very politically incorrect line from Lesley Phillips in a fifties film set in a school, where he arrives and says "I say! Some of you girls are bang on for seventeen". I can't recall the film title offhand. Last edited by: Crankcase on Thu 31 Mar 16 at 08:15 Reply to this message | Report message

>> 1959 - Carry on Teacher Do you know that or are you just picking a fifties film with him in that's about a school? Because if you don't actually know it, I shall be forced to watch the whole thing to find out, a task unlikely to fill Mrs C with joy when she next wants to go shopping and I have to say I'm doing research. She wasn't that thrilled about Carry On Jack being on the other day either, though that's partly because I have a terrible crush on Juliet Mills as she was in that one. She's not mollified by the knowledge she bears more than a passing resemblance to her either. Can't understand it. Reply to this message | Report message

Just watched CAR SOS, which I downloaded today - P1800. At 26 seconds there is a brief flash of a Daimler Dart. In blue. I sincerely hope it isn't the same one, but suspect it is.>> Whassat? Reply to this message | Report message
