I suppose mechanics/suspension is from a Morris Minor ? Did they have model names ?

They did, yes. I've found that the other one we have listed is called a Model A.

Were they all called Model A? This one seems to have a different radiator cowl than that other listed Albany. Or was this one customised by the owner?

I've not found any other model names. Here's a '72 Model A:

While the torsion bar ifs looks distinctly Morris, a 1493cc engine doesn’t.

There were other versions (commercials, four seaters) but I can't find definitive model names. The company was then later renamed or taken over and became Homark: /vehicles_make-Homark_model-Criterion.html plus this possible sample: /vehicle.php?id=1219595

Information online suggests they started off with Morris bits then later received a more powerful Triumph Spitfire engine. My feeling is that 201JUO was THE original Albany, maybe built as a prototype from a 1961 Minor and maybe then subsequently upgraded with the bigger engine by the company for development purposes.

Seems reasonable, maybe they used a single carb version from the 1500, I can’t see why you would want too much power in that thing. Was the Triumph engine lighter than a B Series 1500cc unit? Can’t have been heavier, surely?

Looks like a really good neoclassic, it actually looks like it's from the 1910s as opposed to something like a Siva Edwardian.

No, neoclassic never looks good :o

But it's authentic! That's the word I was looking for.

No. Nothing "neo" is ever authentic.
Only original is authentic.

For once, I am on Gamer’s side in this discussion.

The wheels are almost large enough and skinny enough, although not quite. A fair effort has been made to disguise the torsion bar ifs with “dummy” dumb irons, and the general proportions applicable to a piece of vintage(ish) design are present. I quite like the design of the radiator and its surround, so.....

7.5 out of 10.

P.S. I really like the cheeky design of the radius rods being attached at the front of each dumb iron, clever.

Pity it’s got front brakes.

P.P.S. I think the designer had this in mind: - /v087035.html
