Looks like a Fiat 130 saloon dropped on a 4x4 chassis!

yeah it does...but it aint.

Is it some form of home knock up? Changing gear looks like "fun"

No it was made in a factory which made cars.

[cobblers]

It's got range rover doors and hubs by the looks of things, but the chassis looks longer wheelbase than the 2 door rangey classic the doors are robbed from.

 

EDIT: I lie this is all bollocks. apart from the door handles.

Oh yes, but who made it eh? You know the manufacturer I promise you.

[Formula Autos]

Bonkers and seemingly well built. hmmmmm.

 

Is it a Panther?

 

No idea of the model name, mind.

[cobblers]

With those wheels, probably TVR

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Sorry mate. Not TVR.

No, not Panther.

[cobblers]

Reliant? They liked those door handes

[michiel]

Bristol.

 

Look at the size of it, compared to the Vespa!

[Formula Autos]

Continuing with the bonkers and well built idea .....

 

Sbarro?

 

Monteverdi?

No

[Formula Autos]

Assuming it's British, and made by a manufacturer thrashing about loooking for something, anything, to ensure their survival in the early to mid '70s ..... A firm well versed in the black arts of fibreglass moulding, perhaps? ........

 

Jensen?

 

Marcos? - It's bonkers enough.

 

Ginetta?

 

Gilbern, even?

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

None of those but the company did make their cars (that you know) bodies out of fibreglass.

 

This is a car meant for production and this particular one was meant for sale in Saudi but never got there.

[messerschmitt owner]

I'd say it is a Rover, seeing as it is based on a Range Rover chassis.

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Not Rover but it is a British manufacturer.

[face]

I would guess Rover too.

 

For some reason the opening front vents made me think Rover.

[messerschmitt owner]

Is it a part of British leyland or more obscure like Tickford

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

No not part of British Leyland, pretty well known I would have said. I would have thought you would know the manufacturer well messerschmitt owner .

[HillmanImp]

Bond then? But they were Reliant by 72 so probably not.......

[face]

Supermarine

Wasting your time doing that Trig.

[HillmanImp]

AC? Fuggit I give up. I am just saying names now, I am not normally good that these sort of things anyhow. I am sure someone willcome along who knows it.

[mk1_4dr]

Hustler?

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Neither AC or Hustler.
