Strange Avon?

Does anyone know anything about the following Avon? Below is a quote form Giles Cooper's web site:

"and then there was the most unique Tiger I have ever seen, owned by Bill Sayer it consists of an Avon chassis mated to the back end of a Mk1 Toyota MR2, this bizarre creation even goes so far as to have the instrument panel and centre console from the donor car. A truly strange machine as can be seen in the pictures below." Rescued attachment cur05_img_2.jpg

It was at Stoneleigh this year

If you look at the pictures you'll see the rear bulkhead, scuttle (and presumably footwell) have all been moved forward to cater for the engine in the rear. Makes the proportions all a bit odd !!

Give the builder a little credit though .. He started with a chassis, an engine, an angle grinder, a welder and ... erm .. lots of enthusiams ..





Drive fast, don't look back!
