Was it built by Davrian and based on a Hillman Imp?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

It is based on a Ford and the man who built is is Doug Worgan.
Some great film footage of the car at the '68 Oddicombe hill climb is available on dvd.

It's as much fun to scare as to be scared

Well done Oswald, that's the car. Quite a tough one I think.
