Looks like a homemade nota fang inspired car.

Front suspension looks like Triumph herald/spitfire (it's using the brakes so it's a good bet)

Whether it's worth having depends what the V5c says it is.

In which case no IVA and no tax makes it a good little re-body project for someone for the right price.
Wouldn't be hard to fashion something better looking.
'obviously' you couldn't change the chassis officially but as a special who at an MOT station could contradict you.

Hmmm --- I wonder ..... if you ditched the body panels and welded on a roll cage it could look just like a freestyle  :  Dodgy bit is convincing all you have a 40 year olf freestyle !

Does it matter? I think it's pretty good as it is, back then there was no SVA/IVA to worry about you just did what you wanted. Wish I'd got room, then again wish I'd got some money.

I keep looking at this ... driving position looks a bit awkward though and, as a passenger, I wouldn't like staring down that handbrake.

Make a better single seater, albeit off centre.

Think of it as on the road, no IVA, if it sells for less than £450 it's not cost you anything & that's not including a re-test you won't have to pay for.
