This second-generation Ford Festiva was built in the US (where it was called the Aspire) in 1995 by the Ford Motor Company before being modified by Walbro Engine Management (also from the US) and Orbital Engine Company in Australia in 1996. This modified version was called the ‘Orbital ECOsport’. The Ford Festiva /Aspire is a front-engine, front-wheel drive subcompact car, a type of car characterised by its compact frame and body design. The car was primarily sold in the US, Japan and Australia between 1986 and 2002. The car has a dark red/maroon paintjob, has two passenger doors, and has both its front and back license plates removed. The car's original 1.3 litre 4-stroke engine was replaced by an experimental orbital 2-stroke engine and was fitted or accompanied with a variety of instruments to measure the car's performance. The instruments include a laptop which would be used to adjust the engine in various ways (this laptop is currently non-functioning), and a passenger-side speedometer. In the back of the car is a frame with a fuel and oil tank installed (both are needed for 2-stroke engines to work). However, the cooling system has been removed at some point before the car was acquired by the SMG, and the car cannot work without this.

Constantinesco car chassis and parts. George Constantinescu was born in Romania in 188. His studies into soundwaves later enabled the production of sonic drills and some weapons. He invented a synchronous gear that enabled a machine gun to be used through an aeroplane propeller and then turned his attention to engines and transmission systems, developing a torque converter that eliminated the need for gear changing. The Canstantinesco car first appeared at the Paris Salon in October 1926 and went into production in 1927. However the car was unsuccessful, the public wanting 100mph not 100mpg, and the Contantinesco’s converter was not efficient in a large engine. 'Constantinesco' motor car chassis and parts 1926

Trabant P601 Two Door Saloon, 1986. Reg. No. D799 NCV. Chassis No.36084342. The Trabant was first introduced in 1959, in what was then East Germany (German Democratic Republic) and continued to be produced until 1991. They have become typified as the symbol of Eastern European motoring before the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, partly because of the legendry long wait for a new one (up to 15yrs), partly because they lasted so long, but also because so many were seen to come out of East German in 1989. This example has a two-stroke 594cc engine and was produced in 1986 and exported from East Germany to Cornwall in 1992. Trabant P601 motor car 1986
