All the Reg Checker sites report this as :

Make: Other
Model: Other sports
Colour: Green & White.

So at least it's still it's original colour :)

I suspect some form of lo-cost? But the unusual front suspension may be the key here!
Azravico 26 Apr 2013, 10:39am
Yes

Yes I agree the suspension should be the key bute just can't match it...
Just done a paid check and it came upwithotherbeitishmanufacturer. No help. I've even tried guess the make on the dvla site with no luck, any guesses?
Thanks

Hi, looks like Cortina Mk3 tie bars. Is the body aluminium on plywood? Is chassis purpose made? Has it a four link rear axle set up with coilovers and a panhard rod? More pictures required.

Hi froggyman

Thanks for help

I have more pics but can't easily upload them, I'm now going back to the car to take lots of photos of underneath etc

What you think it is?

Can I mail you directly?

Thanks again

What's it worth

It is as is, non runner in a poor sate, I believe it has a 1600 Toyota engine in it

Assuming it ran any idea what to pay?

Apparently dvla has it down as a OXC.... Now I know even less.. Who's OXC.?
Azravico 26 Apr 2013, 3:26pm
It's OXC on the log book.. Ever heard of them ?

It looks like a O&C Sport from the eighties. Product of Martin Crowther.

Donors Morris Marina / Minor, Ford Escort or Toyota Celica/Carina

Ben

Thank you sooo much

Know much about them?

Any idea if its worth fixing up

I can't find much about them at all on the web

Thanks again
Azravico 27 Apr 2013, 8:33am
thankyou

much appreciated....

what you reckon its worth as is?
Ben Caswell 27 Apr 2013, 12:04pm
:tape: Any kit with a correct log book has a value!!

The kit is worth what someone is prepared to pay if you are thinking of buying it as it is without a MOT and not running I would suggest £300-
would be a good starting point. If it was MOT'd and running £1200 or so.
