I'm building up a car right now that has an unknown chassis - so I thought someone on here might be able to help. It's most likely a UK manufacturer........here's what I know.
I bought the car in Edinburgh around 6/7yrs ago. The guy I bought it from had asked for the complete kit as part payment for some consultancy work he had done for a local company (I think they were going ut of business so this appeared to be some kind of tax dodge!). Anyway, the important part of this is that the kit was bought from a company, or at least someone trading as doing GT40 kits. He himself had owned the kit for about 10/15 yrs or so he reckoned. When I was taking it apart, I found a date chalked on the chassis crossmemeber behind the dash that said 1986???? The car came with everything from this mystery manufacturer.....it had new Rover V8, new Holley, uprights, exhaust system, wheels etc etc.
I'd really like to find out some more about it. I've been to the Stoneleigh Kit car Show here in the UK for the past 15yrs and never seen another that even looks close to it.
I'm sat in an airport now whilst posting this, so the pics aren't great....but I thought I would start the ball rollingwith what I had here..........any ideas anyone?????????
The only other clues I can give areas follows; it uses Ford Granada calipers and disks, it has a 'proper' wiring loom that has been well made, it doesn't use any subframe from another car (as per early KVA)............
