The hood complete with NACAR ducts ands other bits look a bit like the doorless DBR Magnum (same maker as the Sabre) so I think it has to be one od Denis R Bedford's many creations.

Again a bigger pic in the gallery.

Im pretty sure it was made by drb and have seen one adveritised in a magazine in the 80s or 90s but have been cleaning up and cant find that magazine need to get rid of a heap of other magazines .I think they had a few different versions have seen one on the road a few years ago had big flares huge wheels still looked as ugly as the one that is under the house in the first picture

R0BD0G · 03-09-2007, 10:04 PM

**aussiblue** · 03-09-2007, 11:42 PM

Go to the link in post # 57 then buy Paul11 a beer its an 89 sabre to my eye

**aussiblue** · 04-09-2007, 11:56 PM

No its not a Sabre or a Magnum or anything else from Denis I had a reply from Denis Bedford of Copycat Cars and previously of DRB who advised: "Definitely not one of my cars, bit rough. I think that is a typical one off backyard special."

Any updates to what this is?

Definitely not a Eureka , I helped a mate build one up on 1971/2 , Completely based on a Vee Dub chassis , only alteration you could do was put a Cortina/Escort 1600 GT motor in them , but that made the front end really light .

About 4 years ago another mate & I were looking at Importing/wholesaling different kit's into the country and I've just found some of the links we were looking at, at the time .

(some of these links may not work as they are from 4 years ago :-)

You might be able to follow some of the links from these sites , we used to Google "Kit Cars"

Hope this helps
