[ClassicMotorNut]

Hello, all. I'm not sure if this is in the right section because I don't know if it qualifies as a classic, but it's based on a 1972 Morris Mini so it was at least once a classic. What it is now, though, I don't know, so perhaps someone here could help me.

Mini Scamp?

Home-brew, I reckon.

Whatever, it's just an old mess !!!

Not a curve in sight on the bodywork. Some sort of Mini Stealth?

Thanks but I don't think so. It's not like any Scamp I've seen, or that I could see on the club site, and I think they were made to a higher standard.

I think I'll go with that until someone manages to identify it, if they do.

It looks like a Jimp. Built in Sandbach quite near to the old Foden factory

In fairness, it's the closest likeness I've seen so far.

In that it's a fugly pile of angle iron and flat sheet, with some Metro headlights lobbed at it... <grin>

It's registered as a mini scamp

No, it's not.

So it's _insured_ as a Scamp. Bit different to registered as one. It doesn't look much like a Scamp, either.
