It will be interesting to see how far this one gets as I think it's quite tough.
So, for a point, please name the make and model of this proposed vehicle.
Is this some kind of a design study for a modernized Austin Champ?

Afraid not.
Up to the Experts...
Based on a production vehicle?

I assume so, but to be honest I don't know what the base vehicle is as information about this car seems to be quite limited.
Hmm right hand drive so British?
Ever built?

Ever built?
I have not idea, but I have my doubts. It was advertised quite extensively for a time though (just to test the market potential I guess).
was it a kit forconverting a standard car,like a BMC 1100?

Yes, it was proposed as a self-build kit car, but as I said earlier, I'm afraid I don't know what the planned based car would have been.
Climbing up to the Pros...
Proposal by Dutton?
Masters?
Is the make known for other cars ?

Not that I know of.

A new Mini Moke?
basded on a BLMC product?
based on a Ford?
Citroen based?

No, based around a production vehicle.
based on a motorcycle?
Austin?
Quote from: Oguerrerob on October 08, 2020, 01:20:17 PM

No, as already mentioned, it wasn't planned to be based on a BMC/BL brand.
British Triumph?
Quote from: Oguerrerob on October 08, 2020, 01:50:37 PM
British Triumph?
As per my earlier reply, still not a Ford.
Bond?
based on a tractor?
Reliant based?
Quote from: pnegyesi on October 08, 2020, 03:23:33 PM
Reliant based?
Yes (although which one?!). Now comes the hard part though to find the make and model name of this proposed Reliant-based car...
Kitten?
Quote from: pnegyesi on October 08, 2020, 03:31:44 PM
Kitten?
Yes, it was planned to be Reliant Kitten based. Now locked to you for two attempts at naming the make and model of the Puzzle car.
Total Design Services MUTT?

Total Design Services MUTT?
That's a new one on me to be honest, but sadly it's not the MUTT, so still Locked to you for another try.

From a Reliant Kitten Club newsletter:
"Mr R. P. Hull of Leyland was good enough to advise me of the MUTT, which was to have been a Kitten based American
Jeep look alike (another Jimp?) anyway, I did follow it up, the company, Total Design Services of Wigan, does still exist, but the lad whose plan it was, one Ian Davis, is no longer with them, and his dad, who is, didn't want to talk about it".
Beyond that, I have no idea, so please unlock
Thank you for the MUTT information Pal. Now sadly unlocked, as requested, so now open up to all again.

Was this in the 1980s?

I met him in September 2021 and he reckoned whoever logged on, it wasn't him!

Yeah, I realized whose puzzle this was immediately after posting the question. :sigh:
More than 5 years at the Masters and a disappeared puzzle poster: let's put this one to rest in eternal darkness.
