Looks like an Eagle originally based in England?

Welcome to AutoPuzzles renier1972 - the home of where things are rarely quite what they seem to be!

It's not an Eagle nor from England..

Welcome to AutoPuzzles karguy.
This particular car isn't a Manta Montage either, although it is related..

Experts?

Possibly a UVA M6GTR, in which case it was produced from 1982 to 1985, and was originally intended to be VW Beetle-powered.

Looks American so I am betting Cody Coyote

Carnut · May 15, 2013, 01:12:04 PM

It's not a UVA, not a Cody and not American!

Is this the one built in New Zealand by a guy named Teirney, using a Honda NSX engine ?

It wasn't built by him nor does it have a Honda NSX engine, but it was built in New Zealand!

Built by Steve Clare on a Toyota MR2 ?

He wasn't the builder and it's not Toyota MR2-based!

Mararn from NZ

Full name: FDL Mararn M6GT Replica (FDL - Fibreglass Developments Ltd.)
In 1970's they used original VW-kits (and engine from VW Beetle) for Mararn.

Carnut · May 30, 2013, 05:13:40 AM

Yes, most were VW-based although understand they could also be based on some FWD Japanese car!
This particular car was built by Ian Byrd and Tim Monck-Mason I believe.
The Mararn was basically the same car as the Manta Montage but with the name changed for the cars made in New Zealand.
