What is it we have here

Recommended Posts

Stumbled across this but it’s left me scratching my head as I have no idea what this could be?

The bodyshell appears to be very strong (possibly fibreglass or ABS) and the chassis has distinct features such as the fuel tank being in the bodyshell which I have not seen before!

Any ideas what this could be? :good:

Parts are hard to find , not worth a fortune . If you don't intend to restore it I would put it on eBay as is :)

The engine is most probably glued stuck with old fuel if it has been left to stand for a long time . the trick is to heat up the head & block whilst stripping it down to rebuild it melts the old fuel , keep warming before it cools and sticks again .Once stripped and cleaned the engine may be good to rebuild , but check for wear on main components and replace if needed. If it isn't going to be run , then just rebuild it with new gaskets and keep it for show and it should now rotate freely
