Anyone care to guess the brand? Yours for an estimated 135k! Not quite to my taste (or should I say butt ugly).

Ah, the good old days of 'Kit Car', 'Custom Car', and 'Cars and Car Conversions'. Triple C was always a good read, Kit Car was for the dedicated, and Custom Car always displayed nice bodywork.

Good job it has a modern engine in it. The original is prone to failure and was rather underpowered by today's standards. Testimony of this is the casualties en route to Cornwall.

A member of a car club I was in back in the UK had a Scooby engine in the back of his bus, it surprised quite a few other motorists

Nice colour and the MOT history isn't too bad but due one very soon.
Shame there's not more information or pictures.
12.5% buyers premium plus Vat is that the norm these days ?
