Plywood 7

[catracer]

Anyone know anything about a Scottish manufacturer that built marine grade plywood 7's? Have a local customer that bought one from ebay a couple years back. Needed a ton of wiring ( well, complete rewire actually) and some suspension work. Ply body on steel ladder frame. Pretty well executed I thought. Aluminum clad over the plywood. Crossflow with a T-9 and four link solid axle.

 

Ran great. Just curious.

Never heard of it. Any idea how much it weighed?

Sounds like it might be a BWE Hornet.

 

There was another that comes to mind (the Locust) but I believe the Locust was of full timber construction (chassis too!) whereas the Hornet just had plywood panels over a steel chassis, with a thin aluminum cladding like you describe.

 

Edit: Found a little info on the web. Is this the car? --> http://www.locust.org.uk/ownerscars/overseas/quintin_congdon/quintin_congdon.htm

That is the very same car. Locust. Interesting. It's coming in for a little work this fall. I'll put it on the scales then.

 

Many many variations on the theme. Cool. Thanks.

I know this is off topic but this is worth taking a look at...
