Don't think we've had this one yet.
A point for identifying what it is...

Yow!

Time to move it on

Yow is right. It looks like they got in too much of a hurry to drive it and didn't finish it.

Time to move it on

Preferably into that big black bin outside...

British Kit Car?

Probably based on a small engined car (hence the very small bonnet).

It's not British
But it does use a British engine...

is it american, is it unique?

Quiller · « **Reply #8 on:** December 30, 2010, 01:28:58 PM »

is it american, is it unique?

Yes on both counts

navara · « **Reply #9 on:** January 04, 2011, 03:08:43 PM »

Based on some other kit car? or is this creation truly unique?
MG powered possibly? is that too many questions?

Usually there's only one question per post unless the author of the puzzle says something different.

navara · « **Reply #11 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:32:15 PM »

Sorry, based on another kit car?

drum365 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2011, 01:58:40 PM »

Okay, I'm looking at the bonnet and the wheel arches and the clue that the drivetrain is British, and I'm wondering: Mini?

Quiller · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2011, 11:49:50 AM »

This is a one-off, yes, but it's not based on Mini bits...

navara · « **Reply #14 on:** February 07, 2011, 06:30:58 PM »

Do you have any other pictures?

navara · « **Reply #16 on:** February 15, 2011, 07:14:50 AM »

was it a proposal from a (kit car) manufacturer, or a home build?

Quiller · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2011, 05:22:24 PM »

It's a one-off...

Was it AMC Gremlin-based?

Quiller · « **Reply #20 on:** March 05, 2011, 09:01:19 AM »

It uses a British-made chassis & engine

navara · « **Reply #21 on:** March 05, 2011, 09:59:06 AM »

Triumph Herald/ Vitesse based?

Quiller · « **Reply #22 on:** March 05, 2011, 01:50:58 PM »

Triumph Herald/ Vitesse based?

Very close...

navara · « **Reply #23 on:** March 07, 2011, 01:45:07 PM »

Spitfire (on the basis that no-one would do that to a TR6).

navara · « **Reply #24 on:** March 07, 2011, 05:46:01 PM »

or perhaps the wedge shape is something later from Triumph?
