Trojan,
AR designed a car that looks a lot like the Trojan but it differs in several characteristics that I think are somewhat important. Of course the argument is always - when is something an exact copy and when is it breaching copyright. If I had to go into court and swear on the Black Spot I would say that Rattletrap is like a Trojan - just different.
I actually think it is also a lot like the image Ian had for another car - whose name escapes me. I think we can say that AR used the prinicples of those English cars of the era and then modified it a bit.
I look forward to the article in Mixed Moss on the car.
We leave for a weeks motoring to Ohio, so have a nice week.
My wife asked me this morning - when are you going to finish that boat. She thinks it is very funny.
John
