Looks very similar to a Scorhill Magic if my memory is still intact.
I know - remembering obscure 1980s kit cars is very very sad...

So what does that make the ex-manufacturer of an 80's kit then?.....

Ah well you see, that's different - you have reason to remember, you were 'involved' - I just read magazines for the first 15 years
of my interest in kit cars. Probably spend enough on them to have put a BDG engined caterham on the road as well
Only in the last 10 years or so have I been 'active' so to speak. Just right now is as good as it's ever been though
P.S. I'm still scared of the locost - it's still much too quick for me

Correct - deffo Scorhill Magic (or one of it's subsequent resurrections).
Work-in-Progress: Changed to Zetec + T9. Still trying!!

I thought it was very similar to an Arkley SS, MG Midget body conversion
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Yep - remember that one as well, but this car looks quite a bit wider to my mind, especially across the nose.
