Sorry, No ther photos, All I have is a photo of the Car name and a 3 paragraph description of the car that was posted in front of it a Bealieu.

If no one gets it by 8:00 pm EST, I will post a scan of the information.

To find reference of it on Google, you need to know the engine, what is was used for and where it is.

Now that is just about spelling it out for you!

I realized that the photo was hard to read so I typed it out.


1968 BMC SPHYNX

An automatic winner in any "weirdest-looking" competition, the wacky BMC Sphynx was built, incredibly, for the demanding sport of hill-climbing. Competing in only a handful of events, little is known about this bizarre creation other than it was build by Gilbert & Rickard of Syon Hill Garage, in Isleworth London at the end of 1960's and was funded by the Suppan brothers of Switzerland.

Its centre wheels were driven by a Downton-tuned BMC 1,800cc "landcrab" engine, ensuring that this striking hand sculpted aluminum two seater bodied car, complete with gulwing doors, would be quick off the mark. Numerous automobiles have been constructed with a diamond pattern wheel arrangement, however the Sphynx is trapezoidal with the driving axel three-quarters toward the rear. A complicated gear mechanism was designed ensuring the front and rear (steering) wheels followed the same arc.

Several years ago the Sphynx was found in a hedge in Ipswich and a full restoration is currently planned.

DANG!!
I googled "BMC Sphynx", and believe it or not I had completely overlooked the answer on a page I had googled earlier today. There was no photo on the page, so I just ended up jumping right past it. :mad:

Oh, well. There's always next time!
