More rust than metal, ridiculous price, but at least he has followed the credible prices have a 7 in them rule, though not sure that'll be much use for some reason...

Oh I haven't bought it, it isn't mine, I just found it and virtually no one seems to know what it is, at last though I have a place I can talk about it

With the amount of Tat on my wishlist, an Antonov An-225 would be needed...

My thoughts.
1. You don't need a screen.
2. You do need it to be registered, unless you own a field.

Oh I haven't bought it, it isn't mine, I just found it and virtually no one seems to know what it is, at last though I have a place I can talk about it

Many years ago, around 2015, when I was exploring the area around Winchester where I live, I came across a strange gull winged 6 wheel car called the Shikari
I knew immediately this was something special, it was so strange, looked like a Bond villain's base runaround, or something similar. 
It is clearly made using BL/Ford parts, but is clearly on a unique chassis 
I have tried looking this thing up online and have found very little information on it, but I do know it is called the Automotive Services Shikari 6, and was built in Winchester sometime in the mid 70s-early 80s. 
 
It would be nice to take this on as it doesn't look very complicated, but the smashed windscreen may be irreplaceable (but I suspect it could be a parts bin item) and being an unregistered prototype it may be a difficult legal matter, eitherway it isn't something I am willing to take on at the moment, though if someone here is interested, I can drop a post-it on it and hope for the best, it was there last summer, assume it still is. 
I would appreciate your thoughts on this enigma

Forgot to include a photo of my former Ginetta G26, now gone to pastures new, and now white:
Lets have some love for Ginie the Ginetta, as her builder named her

Good Evening Shiters 
My name is Ben and for most of my conscious life I have been a fan of the unusual and quirky in the automotive world. 
I am a young classic enthusiast, I passed my test last October having learnt in my Volvo 480ES
My passion for cars was started by my late grandfather's Audi WR quattro that he bought new in 1986, I wrote an article for PetrolBlog on it. As a result of this I have a taste for the quirky, left field vehicles that are often nearly extinct. 
My eBay saved search list is extremely long, but includes a raft of odd 1970s,80s and 90s cars, most of them performance intended* 
Currently the cars that I drive are the aforementioned 1988 480ES and a 1994 Rover 220GSi 3dr, the latter of which I am considering selling to make space for an Isuzu Piazza, of which I harbour much desire. 
The Piazza is my goal for the year, though a Mk2 Cavalier SRi hatch would be nice and an Audi 80/90 quattro still beckons me in my dreams. 
 
Anyway, I greatly look forward to contributing to this community, and continuing my Tat filled automotive adventure!

I think it is Mini/Metro based, according to this article, I think they did earlier 6-wheel mini jobs before starting a related venture in Winchester

Ah yes, I did see the video on that, it is a lovely spec in the right colour too. I feel the Cav SRi is one of the definitive 80s cars, just has that look

I have never seen one on the road, except in Bosnia, when I first encountered one (it had somehow escaped my knowledge prior to that
Had to have an early car for me I, for all its faults, it is the one that saw the 1980s and had the original mirror shape, although the Two Tone does weigh on my mind...
"Don't you ever get bored with being right?"
" Just with the rest of you being wrong."
Easily my favourite character of all time, his performance was just sooo good, glad he still has his soundbites on JackFM...
