Hi Guys.,

New to the site and to Kit Cars, stumbled across the vehicles below and would be interested if anyone has any idea of its origins etc.

Led to understand has a wooden chassis , Has a badge on dash saying Altea , is powered by 1275 mini cooper lump.

Been unable to track any info on the www in general , understand has raced at Brands in the 1960`s

Would be interested in any info anyone may have.

Thanks

The company "famous" for building cars in the 60's (and 70's?) with wooden chassis were Marcos. But I have never heard on one with an A Series engine - they tended to use Ford or Volvo as I remember.

Cheers, Robin

Hi.,

Thanks for your reply.

A business partner of mine has the vehicle , together with the moulds and we are just trying to piece together the info we have.

We were originally told it was a Boxer but has Altea on Dash.

Understand originally a two man company which folded due to lack of funds after building a few cars which were raced at Brands
