Looks like it was built on a shortened VW pan. Is it a one-off?

renault 4cv based?

Quiller · « **Reply #4 on:** May 01, 2012, 01:42:22 PM »

Not 4CV based: VW basis is correct, although I don't think it used a VW floorpan. Yes, it's a one-off.

Anything to do with Tom Killeen?

Is this from South Africa?

Quiller · « **Reply #8 on:** May 29, 2012, 11:24:26 AM »

No Killeen connection, and not from South Africa...

European?

It looks a bit like Ian Stronach's Vixen but it can't be that since we've had it already...

Quiller · « **Reply #11 on:** May 31, 2012, 12:15:42 PM »

Not European
And not the Vixen...

That's the spot!

It looks as if the body may originally be a KM (Keith Morrison, Sydney).......

Quiller · « **Reply #17 on:** June 10, 2012, 06:00:56 AM »

I'm not aware of any Keith Morrison connection...

Isn't this the Volcoupe by Ron Learnan?

Quiller · « **Reply #19 on:** September 14, 2012, 06:53:43 AM »

Wahay! Yes indeed - well sleuthed, (though I think it's spelt Volcoup). Away from home at present, so will award point and come back with clarification soon

"'As the composition of the racing fields began to change with the advent of a more professional era Ron decided to build a one off sports car called the Volcoupe in the late 1950s early 1960s "

Quiller · « **Reply #21 on:** September 14, 2012, 02:15:45 PM »

I have a whole article here which refers to it a the Volcoup, but the point is definitely yours!

Allemano · « **Reply #22 on:** September 14, 2012, 02:22:42 PM »

Great!

nicanary · « **Reply #23 on:** December 25, 2014, 05:47:03 AM »

What is the name of this little car, and who built it?
