Guess the chassis
Anyone here guess what this, well quite frankly cr%p chassis comes from?
It's no wonder looking at the brainless effort that they fair so badly in crashes...

MkI McWhippy? 
Mid engined but not a GT40, the roof is wrong, not a Lambo (too curved).
No more ideas than that.

oh only one of you was even close
give you a clue, it has the engine joined to the gearbox by a big chain but it's not a BEC 
I knew two people who owned them and all they're cars did was sit in garages waiting on parts.

A good engine housed in a terrible car, anyone who's looked over a classic Ferrari will know just badly built they were. Now that I work for an
Italian company I can see why
