About Quiz #58: 1969 Vincent Hurricane Triumph Spitfire![]() Sorry, no Ginetta, no Fairthorpe Electron Minor, still we had three competitors coming in with the right make. John Elema, Gerry Barrett, and jury member James Helms. This last one seems to know the car, or at least found it on the web! James writes: "1969 Vincent Hurricane based on Triumph Spitfire EOK486L. Planned restoration/development 2009 to 1500cc 125hp." We think he is right. However James is jurymember and not eligible for the prize. We decided Gerry Barrett had the best answer: "A Vincent Hurricane, a Triumph Spitfire, with replacement fibreglass bodywork. Designed by brothers Martin and Robin Vincent in 1982, using the Spitfire as a basis due to its separate chassis, plus their mother had a rusty Spitfire at the time. Triumph GT6s could also be used. First car sold in January 1983, and over 50 have been built, kit still available today from Caburn Engineering." Congratulations Gerry! More about the Vincent Hurricane here.
