Who knows this car?
1 point for you.
British?
Yes!
Hillman Imp chassis?
I don't have any detail about it...just who built it and when.
Looks a like a contemporary fellow of a Franke Scout. So I'll have a try at 1976?
Later than 1976.
Few guesses in the right direction and you'll bring it home!
Built before 1990.
Yes, and later than 1980.
It is definetly not too hard.
Ok, I'll park into the black hole, then.
...but it is much easier than it seems.
Do you know if it is electric?
Nope, but I think it's not.
Is it an Ogle Design project?
Not Ogle Design.
I can't give clues about this one..it's definetly not so hard.
If you find the right question (a question you often use in these cases) you'll find it via Google, 1st page!
Any Reliant connection?
Not that I'm aware of.
was the picture taken at an auction?
I don't think, but can't be sure.
university project?
Yes!
Locked for you till your next guess.
I don't have a guess, yet. Built by students at Coventry University's School of Art and Design?
it is from Coventry but not from A&D...and it's not from an University but a School, sorry.
Locked for you.

let's give this a little bump
Thank you, I'm here now. ;)
You found the car and some additional info I didn't know.
I'd like to know more about those BP Buildacar cars...I found some of them and are a nice subject.
Here's your point!
