SOLVED: Djetset #141 - Khaleej Scarab

[Djetset]

For a point what is the make and model of this car please.

[gilescooperuk]

4 seat dune buggy or possibly dakar

Haven't you got a bigger picture?

[Djetset]

Pictures proved a bit difficult to find for this one I'm afraid.  It does have four seats, but it was also available as a two-seater.

[CompleteKitCarMag]

Is it a red one that's on PH? There was a red one at the Exeter kit car show last year (or maybe the year before...).

[Djetset]

Well done CP13, tyou have your second point.  I hadn't seen the car for sale on Pistonheads, but have now.

[CompleteKitCarMag]

Here's the one that was at Exeter, for those who are interested 

[Quiller]

What's the make and model designation of this car?

[Quiller]

Experts to expose...

[gilescooperuk]

Another 4 seat self propelled tent?

I though a certain vindicator model was that ugly but this one....

Is it Mini based?

[Quiller]

I agree it wins no prizes for styling!
Not Mini based...

[gilescooperuk]

OK it looks to be a commercial offering (why?)

But the question is you have left a 'Y' visible on the plate so are we looking for a car from 2000/2001?

[Quiller]

Why? Is a good question.
And 'Y' - a good answer: yes, it's from 2000. There was quite a big commercial plan behind this car but it all ended badly...

[gilescooperuk]

I am going to confirm it is British?

[Quiller]

Yes - built in Britain

[gilescooperuk]

Built by an established car company?

[Quiller]

The company was set up to build this car

[Quiller]

Time to offer to the pros...

[woodinsight]

Was this a successor to the Seagull?

[Oguerrerob]

Khaleej Scarab by Ian Falconer, Roger Whalley UK 1996-97

[Quiller]

Well done! Not that easy.
