electric cars suddenly made me think of Enfield! But that's not right.

[mk1_4dr]

Sinclair..., surely not?

[dollywobbler]

The electric reference has confused me. Presumably this is one of those Range Rover-based monstrosities that were all the rage for a while, especially with the Arab market in mind. Glenfrome?

I believe I did! lol

[dollywobbler]

Yup Bol - just found a thread about it on Retro-Rides. Got any more info JHT? Not sure it is Rangey based after all - note how the transfer lever is not exactly ergonomic in its placement!

[trigger]

Well I've never heard of that before, a Enfield Safari!.

 

 

as a bonus have a Enfield Chicago as well, they made 2 of these based on a Range Rover chassis.

Yeah where it was born, lives here now in a private collection now.

 

Funny old fing aint it.

 

Well done again to messerschmitt owner.

 

Sorry I don't have any info on it, just what I managed to hear the owner saying about it when I was taking the pictures.

Enfield Safari YDL150L, built at Somerton, Isle of Wight, at the IOW Bus Museum Running Day 17 October 2010 by IslandYorkie, on Flickr

[Jack_Harpers_Teeth]

Indeed, built at Somerton.

 

I remember seeing the electric cars bodyshells piled up outside the factory, site is still there now a transport company's depot.

Chap round the road from me has two Enfields, amongst his collection of 60s and 70s tat!

[kinkersaab]

is the boot a cut down version of the bonnet, both from a range rover?

I don't think so. Hasn't got the distinctive Range Rover 'castles' at each end of the bonnet.

[richardthestag]

my money would have been on the 6 toed result of an incestuous relationship between Range Rover and his sister the Marina

[quicksilver]

That really is a fugly old thing, it looks like the sort of box-on-wheels cars I used to draw when I was about 4. It has Duple Dominant coach rearlights turned sideways if I'm not mistaken.

IOW registration. Fiat rear light clusters?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Anyone want to have a guess at this one?

 

[trigger]

Mk3 Cortina rear lights?, I'm guessing it's not a kit car?

[quicksilver]

It is a kit car based on either a VW Beetle or something else not normally associated with the kit car market. I've found the answer but I'll let you keep guessing.

Rear lights were used on buses and coaches - which is why they seem a bit large! Someone mentioned Duple, but they were also fitted to Leyland Atlanteans/Daimler Fleetlines with Park Royal/MCW bodywork.
