What is that? Number One.

You know what it is like when you see a car in the distance and don't know what it is?   You have to go and find out.  This is what happened to me at Montlhéry a couple of weeks ago and this is what I saw.  What is it?   Answer below.

Answer -

This was a car produced by a small British manufacturer based in Greenwich from 1962 to 1964.
Only twelve were built so they are now rather rare.
This one had a 1 litre Ford Anglia 105E engine (some had the bigger Ford 1,500cc engine).
It had a Glass Reinforced Plastic Sports Coupé body bonded onto a steel backbone chassis and plywood floorpan.
In kit car component form it cost £580.
It's name was the Heron Europa.
Not many people know that!
Luckily for me the information was on the back shelf of the car.  A thoughtful owner!
