Interested to see if anyone recognises it. I'll be staggered if anyone comes up with the badge, but is it a rehash of something else?
PS, it's not a Fibrefab as far as I can tell.
I may be wrong but I'm sure there's an old thread somewhere on here with someone else querying what it was until they eventually went and knocked on the door to find out.
Turned out it was some custom effort built by a chap in the 70's/80's who'd since died and his wife couldn't part with it.
I'm probably wrong though...

Lol. He was still breathing when I last saw him. Clambering about inside the enclosure of a problematic genset no less. Got me worried now. Turned out it was some custom effort built by a chap in the 70's/80's who'd since died and his wife couldn't part with it.

It's quite pretty, but I believe very cooking mechanically. I'm surprised so far no one has seen it or knows of it.
The people saying Marsh/Costin are on to something as It looks like the Costin Amigo might have been an inspiration
Deltashad is barking up the right tree, but it's not a Fibrefab, nor the Kelmark Dino, which is otherwise very close.

I'll end the waste of life from searching.
It's a JP Milan. The middle swage line, strange leading edge on the door and elevated quarter panel vent don't really match anything else, so I think it's unique.
Like Deltashad says I think it is mostly VW, but the wheelbase perhaps looks a bit long compared to a beetle.
It's nice looking, particularly from the front, so I hope it's saved.

I'm guessing HA Viva but that's probably too obvious?
I think you are bang on. Either that or the Bedford van derivative.ETA - Taking that back now - top edge of wing is wrong.
I'm thinking it might be an old SEAT of some description now, going by the number plate.
ETA2 - I now know what it is, but I cheated so I'm saying nothing. Would never have guessed it though...
