That 'Date of last V5C (logbook) issued 17 May 2013' is the only light at the end of the tunnel.

Let's hope it's in a barn! And there is hope with it being a Berkeley - these cars are quite difficult to scrap being fibreglass. Also, anyone with one must know they are rare. However, it could have been broken up for parts.

All the details you found are correct though. It started life with a 328cc Excelsior bike engine but the Berkerley Enthusiasts Club did inform me it was modified for racing and the 1100 engine is very likely to have come from a Mini.

Indeed! This is a surprise. I'm wondering if someone has bought it back in 2013 for a restoration project?

Not sure what else I can do except hope someone blogs about it and I can find it on an internet search. Hopefully they might even be on Pistonheads and and find this thread!
