Spot the manufacturer

Some talk of this MKaterham? on PH.

Looks like a Caterham in most respects, and advertised as one, but front suspension is MK (or looks like it) and car is registered as an "M K". Anyone know anything about this car? (other than is seems a bit dodgy!)

EDIT Sorry, link now fixed!

Early MK lower wishbones which bend. Lolocost xflow manifold which exits high up the panel. There are a quite a few Cateringvan parts on it though....

The transmission tunnel is definitely Caterham. Can't help but wonder if we have a cut and shut special here? MK front end on a Caterham chassis, and the MK registration details.

Don't tell me in all the years of experience you have you've never heard of the pinto crossflow? Next you'll tell me you haven't even heard of the zetec cologne!

I'm not sure if they are MK bones - the overhead picture of the engine bay shows a view of one of them and they don't look like Indy Bones at any rate..

They're early MK Locost wishbones which are not of a large enough tube diameter or wall thickness. I used these when I built my car. Fair play to Martin Keenan he replaced them FOC with much stronger items when I bent them
