Welcome Chris. It looks like the illegitimate child of a Moke and a Dutton (no offence Chris).

So what is it?

Once again welcome. ...... Neil

Hi and thanks for the warm welcome.

I am still trying to find full details about the kit, but from what I know so far it is called a Sabot and was made by a company in East Anglia called Status. I am told there were only five made and there are only two of them left.
This one featured in a book called Maximum Mini 2, part of a series of three books that detailed loads of Mini derived vehicles.

If anyone knows anything about the company, I would be interested to hear from you.

Thanks,

Will make doing so again much easier.

Welcome to SKCC Chris

Very interesting car. Does it have a steel tube chassis or glass fibre monocoque?
If it needs IVA it might be easier to get it through if you remove the screen temporarily.
