1951 Iota 350 Sport

1951 Iota 350 Sport 1951 Iota 350 Sport 1951 Iota 350 Sport This is believed to be the world's first aluminum sports car of monocoque construction. This example is the only survivors of two prototypes. It was built by Bristol Aircraft Motor Club using primarily aircraft fabricators. Bristol Aircraft Motor Club also built cars and parts for 500cc single-seater racing, which became Formula 3.

The body design is aerodynamic and smooth with no exterior door handles. The design continues into the rear, with two rear wings which resemble aircraft props. There is a two-piece windshield that stands with very little slant, and a single windshield wiper on the driver's side. Inside, there is seating for two, with the driver sitting on the right. There is traditional instrumentation, three foot pedals, and a floor-mounted gear shift lever. Due to the proximity to the front wheels, the foot well provides only minimal space for the occupant's feet.
