It may be a 1970s British kit car with a Mini subframe to the front. :-\

Post by: Djetset on October 24, 2012, 05:00:18 PM: 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.
