Interesting looking beastie, I get the feeling I've seen it before and its got a cossie engine in it but can anybody tell me what it is?

Dax Kamala

That was quick!

I knew I'd seen it somewhere before. They aren't made by DAX anymore though are they? Also I thought they were all hard topped.

Looks funky though.

Yep the project was sold, can't remember who to.
They were cossie powered and normally had a targa roof arrangement.

It is a kit car so could easily have been chopped.

Don't think its a Kamala. Where did you see it on track?

Well, put it this way, the front screen is quite different (the Kamala has the rear edge of the screen aiming for the front wheel far more than the track car that has the rear edge of the screen more vertical), side pod intakes different shape, bodywork at front different ie wings, side pods different, so not a production Kamala.

It was the nose that made the car very distinctive.

OK, early prototype or chopped version then?

That's not a Kamala, it's a Dare DZ.

Thanks Ferg, I knew I had seen it somewhere before and just could not think where!

Cheers Ferg, thats definitely the badger.

Interesting car, expensive though.

It was at the Bedford trackday last weekend.

I stand corrected, but you have to admit, they are not exactly a million miles apart are they?

Last I heard, Patrick was building a Kamala with Cossie engine.
