Okay thanks for that - I'll be interested to learn more about this car in the coming days......
Title: Re: PJ - 462
Post by: Paul Jaray on July 24, 2012, 04:02:50 PM
Ok, I'll give you some clues.
This was a kit car built for Ford.
There were 3 different models.
I have the name of the builders, the place where it was built and the name of the car.
There is a relation with Weltex.

Bill Ashton, formerly of Microplas and Weltex, joined with Ted George in the 1960s and made the "Tiki", of which three were made. Is this one of those? I can't find a corroborating picture.
