    No story about it?
    I know where the inspiration came from...

    When I found the pictures there was no accompanying story, but you can view the history of the Thomassima cars in the link.
    It's a very interesting read, and covers almost everything about Tom Meade and his brilliant creations.

    My apologies, this is not the Thomassima I, but the Thomassima II.

    Yes, it is inspired by the P3 and P4.

    Hi, Jo ?
    Sorry for the late reply. I'm interested in that B&W photo - the side view of the Thomassima II that you posted last year.

    The photo appears to have been taken on the owner's, Harry Windsor's, driveway - I'm guessing some time between 1968 and 1970.
    It looks like you scanned the image from a printed page. Can you remember what magazine (or newspaper) it may have come from ?

    Obrigado, Paul.

    Hah, I think I've found where you guys 'lifted' your photos of the Thomassima II (and others) from:

    Rareté only: le retour - Auto titre.com .... (and scroll down the page) Correct ?

    A lot of the photos on this forum are 'lifted' off of other websites and usually passed along amongst various members of different forums. I don't think he's claiming these as his own.

    (em português, pois fiquei com a impressão de que o entendes)

    sim, provavelmente terá sido desse Forum. visito-o regularmente e - garanto! tenho lá encontrado fotos de raridades... porém, como já expliquei 'n' vezes, não adoptei de início o hábito de referenciar a origem das fotos e hoje já é tarde demais... os dias teriam de ter um mínimo de 72 horas e eu a paciência dum autocarro repleto de santos, para conseguir 'etiquetar' o meu pecúlio de fotos... aproveito esta oportunidade para repetir o que também já por aqui tenho deixado declarado, no meu péssimo inglês - mas acreditando que "a mensagem" é entendida: faço a minha colecção privada de fotos, que partilho sem qualquer obstáculo, e nunca reclamei a autoria de nenhuma, tirando a 'meia-dúzia' que eu próprio tiro nos poucos salões nacionais que me calha visitar. nem digo "são minhas", nem as comercializo: apenas as colecciono...

    No, I don't understand Portugese, but this did a pretty good job of translating for me: AltaVista - Babel Fish Translation

    However, ribatejo69 - your signature was perfectly clear: "I don't take any photo, just collect in all the web and share"

    Thank you, again, Gentlemen - for providing me with the leads.

    Any photos of the Thomassima II, found on this forum, and elsewhere, and scans of relevant magazine articles ....
    .... kindly provided by others, in the last few days, are now uploaded to this updated thread on Ferrarichat:

    Thomassima II of Tom Meade - Page 3 - FerrariChat.com .... and most importantly credited accordingly.

    Hmmm. Was hoping I might be able to see these photos of the Thomassima II.
    O.K. Message at the top of the screen says that I need to post something.

    This thread seems as good a place as any.

    Check out this thread on FerrariChat: Thomassima II of Tom Meade - FerrariChat.com

    (Lots more photos and info on the Thomassima II)
