The last five of the 21 prototype standards had dual door bodywork, a layout still in vogue in 1972. The staircase was moved rearwards but otherwise the Northern Counties body differed ittle from their single doored bretheren.
The Fleetline chassis for these buses came from an outstanding Rochdale order and was numbered EX19 in the experimental series when new. At the end of 1972 all the EX numbered buses were renumbered into the existing ex municipal series, this one becoming 6254 in the Rochdale sequence.
Hillman Swallow Prototype (1964) Engine 1250cc S4 OHV Production 1
HILLMAN SET

Developed as a rear engined family car. in 1964, with a rear boot albeit a narrow one and a more spacious frony luggage compartment. The engine a newly developed 1200cc,
was transversely mounted in between the rear boot and the back seat. Front suspension is by McPherson struts with the rear more resembling the suspension of the Imp. The spark plugs were accessed from within the car, after the rear seat was removed. For the most, access to the engine wasn't bad at all, only unusual.
The styling does bear a passing resembleance to that of the later Hillman Hunter, and was overseen by Rex Fleming, The front mounted radiator made for quite an overhang and it was one of the reasons it didn't look very stylish. But it was roomy and had four doors.
The engine was designed by Coventry Climax and it was envisaged that engines of 1250cc, 1500 and 1750cc versions would be used in the production model.
But by now Rootes were feeling the financial fall out from the Linwood Plant and profitability of the Imp was below expectations, more importantly Ford had announced their Cortina which was a game changer in the mid-sized car sector. Rootes canned the Swallow project in November 1963 instead deciding to go with the smaller, cheaper Arrow project (which ran concurrently with the Swallow since late 1962)
But by now Pressed Steel had already built this one prototype, which first ran in 1964

Also very similar to the released product, but her body looks odd. Is that a screw in her leg?
These are Brickarms Prototypes, Preproduction and Colored/Camo
The background is a Drum Pad (Percussion FTW)

Gosh. I forget how pretty Daisy is... she still takes my breath away.

gotta verify the gauge...
Called it the Rosemary dress, because it reminds me on the fashion Mia Farrow wore in the movie Rosemary's baby!
Fun pic of a prototype suit that didn't actually make it in the convention line up. I think Sandra said there were issues getting enough material. Really cute suit though. Love the pleating on the skirt
Monday morning at Brew Steet in Bridgwater Docks, we see the arrival of a few wagons from Glastonbury, a van of Clark’s footwear and a former cattle wagon repurposed as a cider van. Nasal Nigel & Colin check out the unusual switchblade latching. Rumour has it, PECO based their OO point mechanism on it.

I have received several of my prototype models.
Know that these are Shapeways grade plastic prototypes and as a result are not as durable as ABS Plastic.
I am posting them to help raise both awareness, and increase funding to get these and many like them made in plastic.
In the pile you will see.

The Porsche 917 is a sports prototype race car developed by German manufacturer Porsche. The 917 gave Porsche its first overall wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1970 and 1971. Powered by the Type 912 flat-12 engine of 4.5, 4.9, or 5 litres, the 917/30 Can-Am variant was capable of a 0-62 mph (100 km/h) time of 2.3 seconds, 0–124 mph (200 km/h) in 5.3 seconds. The long tail Langheck version had a maximum measured top speed of 362 km/h (225 mph).
The 1971 model was a further development of the 1970 917L and was also made specifically to compete in only one race: the 1971 Le Mans 24 Hours. The car was also more stable than its 1970 predecessor because of new bodywork and revised suspension set ups and partially enclosed rear wheels covers. The front section was also redesigned.
The three LHs were run at Le Mans in 1971: two were run by John Wyer's team (SER#917L-043 and 917L-045) (Both Gulf livery) and one was run by the Martini International team, (SER#917L-042) (Silver Martini Racing livery). Although Jackie Oliver qualified one of the Wyer 917LHs on pole position, none of the three cars finished the race. This was the last race in which the 917LHs were run in.
Only three 917Ls survive and each is on display in a museum: 917L-042 is on display at the Porsche museum in Stuttgart, 917L-043 is on display at the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and 917L-045 displayed at the Le Mans museum. 045 was repainted like 042 and they are now both painted in identical 1971 Martini colours. Chassis 043 ( 044 ), which is now in the Simeone Foundation Automotive Museum, was restored to its 1970 Martini 'hippie' colours prior to its sale in the 1998 Christie's Pebble Beach auction. LH is non-factory term used here but is generally accepted by most to describe the 'rework' for the 1971 season of the previous 1970 L models.
De Havilland Mosquito prototype W4050 at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, London Colney, Hertfordshire, on 12th July 2022.
I am back from vacation and I ordered from brickarsenal right before I left and recieved a few more things. My only wants are ww2 protos.

A prototype of an early Newton MessagePad.
This device does not boot or power up on its own, but requires connection to a Macintosh equipped with a specialized NuBus card.
Stock Marauder Prototype back from the ENVE Builder Roundup out in Utah. Made a few adjustments and component swaps to bring it up to speed.
TEH918 LK58CPU seen at Edgware starting on route 32, towards Kilburn Park.
This bus was previously painted with green leaves, to advertise that it was hybrid, along with 11 other prototypes. It uses the hybrid system, BAE, which is one of the best systems, proving that this hybrid was successful and reliable, leading to their production version being sold in hundreds.
This year, this bus will turn 10 years old, which sometime, it'll have to complete a MOT test. If it fails, then it has to be scrapped.
The first of the time bomb (timed explosive) prototypes. The timer is molded separately, and press-fit into a recess on top. The reverse side features a stud-sized hole to allow ti to attach to tother things.
de Havilland DH98 Mosquito prototype W4050 (E0234) preserved at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, Salisbury Hall, London Colney - the site of its original design and construction and close to Hatfield where it's first flight took place on 25th November 1940. This aircraft is particularly unique as it’s extremely rare for an original prototype of a WWII era combat aircraft to survive to this day.
One of the most versatile aircraft of WWII, the mosquito was originally conceived as an unarmed fast bomber, but was adapted into many roles and proved equally effective as a tactical bomber, high-altitude night bomber, pathfinder, day or night fighter, fighter-bomber, intruder, maritime strike aircraft, and fast photo-reconnaissance aircraft.
