Of the few still producing kits, you can still import and register them as ICVs

Here is a link to another forum about the red pellandini with phone # Daren

No chance, I've got a wife an 3 kids. A Mini is already impractical enough.

Mind you seeing as we can't all fit in the Mini i might as well go the whole hog. Mmmm.

Do I hear another 13 year restoration coming on?

So dad anything come of the pellandini Daren

There is others, stimson mini bug is just one that springs to mind.
And then we have this, you could buy the plans and all. not realy a kit car or what you are looking for, but still interesting!
Complete with 8" wide Mambas on the back

Maybe next time i will resize photo first

No need; you got it right first time around

Is that a full book? 'Cause that looks like a very interesting read and a much more appealing car than the quite dreadful looking Locost.

Yes that is a full book and the detailed chassis plans were available seperately . There are a fair few Terrapin's running hillclimbs etc in Australia though a fair few of them have now been converted to large motorbike engines instead of A series .

I think the original manufacturer of these actually made a typo when naming this er..er...creation, I think it was supposed to be called 'Ugle' as in just plain Ugly. Yes it is a Kit Car and full points for that, but it should have been drowned at birth.
