This guy is the best. For memorabilia, he covers up the reg marks.

Ringing perchance?

The Unipower, or what's left of it is a Mk2, bare bones of a rebuild a bit of understatement, there is very little of the original car there, no doors, door frames, chassis and undertray/floor, all suspension, dash, dash top, screen surround clocks, headlamp bowls, lenses, chrome trim etc. etc..

Although the parts in most come from other cars from the time, some of the parts are far from easy to find at a sensible price.

Would be interesting to know what car the chassis was used for?

I would imagine the only use for those body sections would be to repair an existing car, to build one from what's there would be a massive undertaking and the result probably wouldn't have a chassis number. I've seen talk of someone on the continent in the process of replicating cars/shells but if you've seen a Unipower close up it's obviously not a case of just bolting a couple of subframes on! :shock:
