Can anyone help with info on this car? The ad said it was from 1961, but the list I got from Bob Clidinst states they had a Watson Offy.  I'd like to do this car eventually, but I need to find some more information first. Nic |

I'd say that this isn't 1961 since 1961 was the year Brabham showed up with a rear engine car. My guess would be this car is 1963 or later. It looks interesting, I hope someone can shed some light on it with some more information.

That car is so funky that I love it! Too many projects no time in the day. I hope I can get some time for my Lola T90 project, but this car is interesting...

Yes, the Zink car is on display at IMS:  Not much help with the car you're looking for, but I agree that it has to be later then 61. |

I received this info from Donald Davidson just a few minutes ago. That is Bill Cheesbourg, summer of 1961. This car was entered for Ruttman and was to have been powered by a turbine. The car came but not the engine. They put in an Offy and Cheesbourg tested the car during the summer. They scrapped it and built another chassis for Gurney in ’62.
