Built in the 80's?

There are conflicting reports about this car. The donor is not an Austin, though some description says this was supposed to be an Austin 7 replica. It has either been built in 1979 or in 2001 - yes, this is very confusing.

It says "Lil Henry" on its side.  ;)
Is it Reliant-based?
Title: Re: PN #1485
Post by: pnegyesi on December 02, 2020, 03:34:49 PM
yes, it is agreed that this is based on a Reliant

So it's a Reliant Lil Henry, built in 1979 or 2001. What else is to be found ?
Title: Re: PN #1485
Post by: pnegyesi on December 05, 2020, 01:06:33 PM
it's name. It was not called Lil Henry. As far as I understand this was a proper kit car

Sorry-I misunderstood the relevance of the number of dots!

So - second word might be Flyer. Is the first word related to the car's size?
Title: Re: PN #1485

no, it's a name starting with F

and nicanary gets a very well deserved point. If I understand the confusing texts correctly, this is a Fisher Flyer, an Austin 7 lookalike based on a Reliant Kitten.

I think you're correct in assuming that this is a kit car. The car I mentioned in one question the Flying Bathtub looks almost identical. This latter car is featured on the cover of the Reliant Kitten Mewsletter #55 and has Austin 7 hubs and wheels and a replica Austin 7 Ulster body.

A very rare point. Thanks.
