Buy it, sell the body shell, stick the Nova on it and use the registration? (Probably bin the twin motorbike engines and put something sensible in their place.........)

Wow, never heard of this one before. Looks like either a T70 or Chevron B16 windscreen, and the Triumph front end looks familiar, but the rear chassis frame has been completely chopped about to put those bike engines in. I would have guessed it ran an inline Ford (BDA? BDG?) and a Hewland transaxle back in '73. I think I would have preferred that to all the chain and sprocket stuff...

...And obviously its only ever going to be a track car, I doubt it could be made roadworthy easily...

I've got a sports bike in the toy box but this kit with 2 thunderace bike engines in would go like stink.

A few years ago I went to a kitcar show when Tiger bought out there first twin bike engined car. It was mad......I remember one of the guys from Tiger saying "how long do you want to hold on to your licence" :laugh:

But like Spacenut said "it could only be a track car / come toy".

Cheers.

Well blimey - that went for a not inconsiderable amount: £6,448.89........ and to someone with feedback of 400 so presumably genuine. I wonder if it will ever get finished?
