Folks:
for the benefit of the newcomers here.

We do not post kit cars, designer one-offs and prototypes here.
Only genuine volume production cars.

another thing -- we should follow a discipline here.
Either identify a posted car and close it
or wait 48 hours for somebody else
or the owner to identify and close it
before posting a new car.

Well you asked when you are supposed to give out the answer. So, according to the rules if no one identifies it within 48 hours then you are supposed to give out the answer. But you can surely wait for a couple of more days if you want.

wait 48 hours for somebody else
or the owner to identify and close it

@CYRUS43. When I saw the wheel, I instantly recognized it as a Standard 10 Pennant/Companion/Herald wheel.

Then remembered that many kit cars were built around Standard/Triumph Herald mechanicals. If you swivel-pop the hood (the entire front apron like a Standard Herald) of the car, you will see the familiar Standard 10/Standard Herald 37 bhp, 948 cc OHV engine.

ID:370 is a 1957 Fairthorpe Electron Minor.

They were made until 1973.

It was a kit car based on Standard/Triumph Herald mechanicals.
Like most kit cars, these cars were available fully assembled or in kit form.
About 20 cars were produced per month.
Case closed.

The model that used Coventry Climax was Fairthorpe Electron and it was introduced in 1956. It was a 1098cc engine which produced 75 and 100 bhp depending upon the state of tune.
The model that used Standard 10/Triumph engine was Fairthorpe Electron Minor and was introduced in 1957.This is the name by which Fairthorpe is mainly remembered.

Another high powered model Zeta was introduced in 1960 that used a modified Ford Zephyr engine with upto six carburettors and a BRM cylinder head. Then there was Rockette that used a Triumph Vitesse 1600 cc engine.

So the picture posted by you is that of a Electron Minor that used a Standard10/Triumph engine. More than 500 Minors were sold. But still its a Kit car and does not belong here.
