Car Photo of the Day: name that car
Looks easy, but it isn’t.

I believe that’s a Turner 950 of 1959-ish vintage.
Yup, you can kinda see the badge even. Too bad it doesn’t have the Climax under there!
the motor is horribly familiar to me… but not placed that way in a car!

damn you guys… =(
Ah, how we love the BMC A series in any configuration..!
Oh, you and Vizard…puhleeeze!
I do like the lil bugger, given it was *never* intended to make over 25 HP, and not last long!
I still just reel in astonishment when one goes zinging by, on a race track, thinking about that little hunka spaghetti-crank, hung in *three* mains, cranking at 8000 RPM…..hooWAH!

True they don’t last as long as a Coventry straight 6 or a big block V8 Chevy but they’ll do an awful lot of giant killing in the process. To quote Peter Egan “Very few cars can stand up to the punishment of hot pursuit by an A-Series BMC engine”. And they can sound quite gnarly at times: http://self-preservationsociety.blogspot.com/2009/02/monte-carlo-historique-2009.html
