got the photos of the car and the rock

[boojagirl]

I found some batteries that work , below are the photos of the car from the front, top and under, the last photo is of the rock, I would have just thought it was a normal rock if it had'nt made my detector beep.

Car resembles a Jaguar Roadster Type 120 to 140.. 1950's vintage or a sports car close to that. There were one or two with a similar design. I think one was called a Talbot, not sure..That rock looks like what I would think a meteorite might look like..Is it magnetic?
Nice car. Will it clean up any?

I checked and the rock is not magnetic, it is very light, I could'nt get an exact weight but it feels like it weighs about the same as a regular writing pen. After I found the car I rinsed it off and got all the dirt off, I don't know how to get it any cleaner than that.

Maybe some one can give you tips on how to restore it..

Still Nice find.

How big is that rock? It looks like it's the size of a softball or so and if it's as light as you say it is, I would guess it's some kind of volcanic rock like pumice or something. Put it in a tub of water and see if it floats - I remember a high school earth science class where we learned about how some rocks are formed with lots of gaseous pockets in them during volcanic eruptions and they cool quickly leaving behind a shell like rock that sounds similar to what you have.

Dunno really - hope you find out.

Nice car! Repair it yourself just about any hobbie shop owner or patron can give you pointers.Fun project and a learning experience.Professional restoration is expensive!

Very nice toy car!!!

I forgot that objects in photos are larger than they appear, the rock is only about 1 1/4 inches the long way and about 1/2 inch the short way, I put it in a bowl of water and it did sink, it did'nt plop right to the bottom like a rock would though, the car is about 5-6 inches the long way and a little under 2 inches the short way.

Rock looks like volcanic rock or possibly slag both which could contain metal ores

That is one big car. I thought it was Matchbox-sized at first, but then I saw it was sitting on your leg.

A car that sze...must be some tire parts laying somewhere?!http://www.wwvisions.com/craftbb/toyparts.html maybe post your find here or ask about parts to restore it.....

 

[boojagirl]

I have been going over every inch of that area and have'nt found anything that looks like tires yet.

Great find! That car is just awesome. I am sure there are people out there wanting to restore it! Keep digging girl, you are getting good!

I showed the car to a friend of mine and he said it could be a Rolls Royce, he said that is what the symbol in front looked like, what do you think?
