The Jamaican could be put on an MG, Austin Healey, Triumph, or VW chassis.

It is the only sports car ever designed and built in Spain. Less than 100 ever made. I think that one is the Pegaso Thrill.

You're right - that's a Jamaican pictured; the other example I posted is representative of the actual marque I'm referencing>

'Tis indeed!

From Wiki:

"Pegaso built about a hundred high-end Z-102 sports cars in the 1950s. The cars in many ways were advanced for the time, as they had all-wheel independent suspension, a five-speed gearbox, and very powerful supercharged engines. They were offered with the choice of Touring, Saoutchik, Serra, or Enasa's own luxury bodies."

A fiberglass kit car company barely qualifies as a "marque," but just for laughs, the Jamaican you are "referencing" wouldn't be the marque anyway... it would be Fiberfab.

You misunderstand me; the chintsy kit car is not what I'm referencing (its image was declared to be other than what it is at the source that I found the image). See my subsequent post for pics of the marque that I am referencing. Do you know what it is?

Heel n Toe · 07-05-2010, 12:11 AM

So what you're saying is that you didn't know what the Jamaican was. Or what chassis it could be put on.

Maybe you don't know what these other marques are, either. It appears your internet research skills are severely lacking, but you're still good for a laugh because you... oh, nevermind.

btw: i'd love to get a Jamaican for a spare TR4 chassis that I have. Drop a 302 in it, and have some fun

That's correct (sheesh! ).

Very good John R! That would follow, wouldn't it? Now, show a VW with a WB as long as that of the car pictured.

Maybe you don't know what these other marques are, either.

Oh, for sure I do - been in the presence of an example of each except a Pegaso. When I was a kid a neighbor owned and raced this example of the make in question:

It appears your internet research skills are severely lacking,

Really? How so? The WIKI ref was to back up Paco's statement and I used Google to grab pics of the cars (including the mislabeled Jamaican; took but a few minutes since I already knew the makes I was looking for).

but you're still good for a laugh because you...

I'm good for a laugh? HAHAHA! Not compared to you. That pic you posted a while back, of yourself in the E type that you rented for your annual parade, still cracks me up. Gorgeous garb John!

oh, nevermind.

Yeah, you wish!

Stanguellini formula junior is the open wheel car. The Italian mfg specialized in a lot of specials, some close body, some open wheel. I believe almost all were powered by fiat engines

Lancia sports racer posted above (with the mobil pegasus on the side)- they were very competitive in the mid fifties. Is that one of the Carrera Panamericana cars?

DARISC · 07-05-2010, 06:12 PM

Yes, Lancia D24. Don't know if the one pictured was one of them or not.

From http://www.supercars.net/cars/4207.html:

"...historic win at the Carrera Panamericana Mexican road race. After 2100 miles (3,300 kms), Juan Manuel Fangio took overall victory just ahead of two more Lancias which took second and third place. Motivated by their 1-2-3, Scuderia Lancia was set to take on the 1954 season."
