what is it.....anybody out there who can point me in the right direction?

I was thinking of putting it onto an MK Indy chassi.....but the body is way to small....

Any help with an ID much appreciated.

i'd be tempted to say it was a type of cobra based on the original ac ace

there are a few cobras that follow more of the traditional lines...

From the look of the bonnet it was designed for a very small engine. It looks like a Berkeley prototype. Does it have a transmission tunnel or could it have been front wheel drive?

Thanks guys,

I think Ian has it (Thanks for the snap shot).

I'll let you know the full story when I have it.

So.......come on Steve and Ian, what is it???????????

have a look on this site:

It should be there

nice looking body, looks like a moretti

Here goes,

Ive spoken (emailed) with a few people & it seems that it is a mid/early 1950's body replacement for the Austin seven.

...is the place to go to, & look for info on the " Microplas Stiletto".

I saved it from the tip...but I'm passing it on (with luck) to sombody who will give it the love it needs (It's for sale) as I don't have the skill, time or money.

Thanks for all your help,

Steve.....

p.s. Remember this is part of KitCar heratage.......
