But from 1992-1996 they built a few Mini Moke styled funcars called Roamer 1100 or 1300, using Austin Metro mechanicals but their models had a their own square-section chassis, with the carbodies made of mild steel. They also worked for another similar local company called GL ENTERPRISES during 1992 who built an extra 4 Moons Moke models with Mini engine of similar type of kitcars.Marco Santosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504395159942147195.post-88876343718149094392012-02-07T13:28:04.649+00:002012-02-07T13:28:04.649+00:00Hi Paul,

The chassis was in square section steel tubing and the minimal bodywork was in mild steel. Mechanicals and Hydraglas suspension derived from the Austin Metro.<br />These info can be found on the Beaulieu Encyclopedia and there is a comparative test drive between the mini-moke clones (GB Restorations, Birmingham, Westfield racing from Thruxton, Cadwell Park, Snetterton and Thruxton)in KITCARS INTERNATIONAL magazine 1/93.<br /><br />best regards,<br />Paul JarayPaul Jaraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504395159942147195.post-35021388813327423982011-03-28T15:03:16.402+01:002011-03-28T15:03:16.402+01:00I don't think this one is Scamp based.I don't think this one is Scamp based.Maximum Minihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17278829448628021729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504395159942147195.post-26730930853107062182011-03-22T03:45:13.858+00:002011-03-22T03:45:13.858+00:00I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may possibly...I'm not 100% sure, but I think it may possibly be a modified Scamp.<br />Here's the owners club page:<br />http://www.scampownersclub.org.uk/index.html<br />Good luck with your search.<br />Paul.Reaper, UK.noreply@blogger.com
