Mini / vauxhall viva / metro based kit car, Mid engine RWD.
I purchased this unusual kit car just over a year ago initially just for the engine, but when I got it home and had a full inspection, I decided that it was too nice to split, so I got it up to scratch for an MOT. It passed, pending a couple of advisaries, then I continued to use it for the following year. My interest in such cars has now gone, so it is up for sale. It passed its MOT last week, so will come with a years MOT. 1 Advisary was issued - handbrake is a little high. I have covered 800 miles in the last year, it has been fully reliable and great fun to drive.
It has a fibreglass chassis so will never be plagued with rust, as the mini is! Engine is a metro turbo mounted on a front mini subframe (in the rear), with unknown tune. Certainly not standard. Sounds like it has straight cut components, though I cant be sure of which parts or if it has even at all.
It starts first time and has never skipped a beat.
