The doors are a giveaway, no Buchanan has the door extended in at the top or all the way down to the scuttle. Also the housings for mounting the rear lights are different, the lack of cockpit cowlings and no bulkhead also indicate they are not likely Buchanan. Add in the closed in front wheelarches and I suspect they were produced in SA as so many have turned up there. The de Mac special may have been the inspiration when it showed up back in the late 1950's.Roohttp://www.buchananmotorcompany.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290662315829466158.post-452392316076964882011-01-10T18:46:53.850+10:302011-01-10T18:46:53.850+10:30Interesting tunnelled headlight treatment on the r...Interesting tunnelled headlight treatment on the red body. My Buchanan V8 also did not have the recessed front guards nor the body line in the doors.Colinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099819887047466587noreply@blogger.com
