Oh my, have all the Rookies run away?  I put this one in as a test to see if any Rookies were still alive, as this car looks quite obvious, but alas not a single Rookie response, which is rather sad   :(

So, Experts, it's time to fill your boots...

Ah, this must be more difficult than I thought, as it's neither a Naylor nor a Hutson.

B**ger! I was just about to post that.

It's a lot more like a TF than most kits.

Not a Victor TF, and not a kit either...

I wondered if anyone would mention an MG!  Sadly it's not one though.

So it's a replica but not a kit car, so it was only sold as a finished item ?

Harper Roscoe ?
That's the one, the Harper Roscoe TF 1800, to give it its full title.  This is one of 4 examples built in the 1980s.  Another point to you.

According to one website, the moulds were taken from a Victor TF.
