Need help remembering.

[ribiero73]

I have been struggling to remember the names of a couple of cars, both brand and model. The first is an Italian 1960's fhc either 1000cc or 1300 dohc i4. I believe there may be a tenuous Ferrari connection. Looks a bit like a dino coupe. The second was a 1990's mid engined british sports car that resembles a Cooper gp car, fairly certain it was bike powered.

I'll guess OSCA and LCC Rocket.

Eta: maybe ATS for the first one.

Pretty sure it ain't Alfa Tipo Stradale, but I just like to recall them every now and again.

Dino coupe lookalike could be an Abarth Simca GT or Bialbero.

Someone else was also making something that looked like a '50s cooper for the road in the late '80s, early '90s. This thing had two seats, side by side, whilst the Rocket was two seats, one behind the other.

I can't remember what that other one was called. I'll try to find it.


EDIT: Oh, looks like the Rocket was the one you were after, I'm too late!

A.S.A was my thought too until my quick google search showed more sports racer models. I didn't even think to check wikipedia. Thanks to all that replied this has been bugging me all day.

holy thread resurrection batman etc...

Took me 4 months but a recent Tony Brooks thread triggered a memory of the name of the two seat cooper style car I was trying to recall.

I know the answer was settled as the Rocket in this case, but for anyone interested, here's an alternative which if I recall has roots back to the 1980s and so would have been a contemporary of the Rocket.
