It looks as if it may be Mini-powered, but after an extensive search in all my reference books (and despite having seen it somewhere before), I can't find anything about it. It may be a 1970s British kit car with a Mini subframe to the front. :-\

Sorry Thorax, missed your post. Doran is not quite the name I have as I have a full make and model name.  However, there is a Doran connection, so locked to you until your next reply.

Is this the Critter, a Subaru-engined home-built special built in the USA in the mid nineties?

Forgive the slow reply, but been AWOL since Christmas.  Anyway, well done Carnut; you get the point, as this is the Frisky Critter Doran, to give the car its full title  ;).
