apparently there were two,the first was an all steel buggy-type (mini beaver) powered by a BMC mini engine.the second was a glass fibre (home made) body on a tubular chassis. again powered by a mini engine,but this time at the back.Im not 100% sure on the date ,I think it was 1980?

I thought this one was the one and only one!  I'll have to brush up on my homework..
It's the builder's name I'm after now for the point?
