Wanted, Toyota Starlet, Talbot Sunbeam, Reliant Kitten or any other small, cheap rear-wheel drive car you can think of!!
Brother needs vehicle for wolf in sheeps clothing, bike engined project car!
Many thanks,
Doug.
Would also consider a three door vauxhall chevette if any one has one?
if you are going to put a bike engine in it then a fiat 500 or 127 would make a real pocket rocket
or a "sooty" van, there's one up road from me with an R1 motor..........
Gives the Nova boys a bit of a shock....
I've seen that at Anchor supplies, very neat. I think a Shoveit might be a bit on the hefty side for a bike engine without some serious surgery.
tihs is probably a northern thing, but, what the hell is a sooty van?????????
the kitten gots to be the one, id,e love a spin in one of those with a bike engine hidding inside, untouched outside, pull up at lights at side of a scooby,
sooty van = bedford rascal or simular.
I can lay my hands on a minty Hillman Avenger if that's any good? Would be a bit heavy for a BEC but a v8 or a Cossie would push it nicely! I
pulled it out of my grandmother-in-law's garage last summer for the first time in 10 years. It's in lovely condition and ran up nicely.
Only thing I found was the rubber hose from the fuel line to the carb had perished and was pissing out fuel.
Needs to go fairly soon so and it'd be a shame to scrap it!

Saw a Rover V8 powered mid-engined Fiat Panda a while back (Harewood hill climb).......
V lightweight car - probably heavier than the kitten though?
There is a Blade engined reliant kitten already around, was a small feature on it in retro cars a while back. Looked very normal from outside, but
under the bonnet............
