Good grief, another auto test special?
I don't think it's 'MoBi-One' - Morris Bishop's crazy creation, which 'could virtually park on a postage stamp' and won the championship a few year's in a row.
But it certainly looks to be inspired by that.

the obi-one-mi-obe was road registered as well, so it would be a more valuable car as well.
I must admit, I had to look through my files as I was 50/50 that it might have been it!
its the price of a secondhand s motor, so I guess someone will buy it just for that and throw the rest away, but what use is it really

Re: Yet another one for Jeroen ??
That's one ugly s.o.b but the seller has had tons of interest apparently and like Rich says I suspect it'll sell quick and the engine will be hoisted out by the end of the week! It'd only really have any more value if it had a story behind it, and you never know it just could have. As an exercise in 4 wheel steering it makes some sense but the S lump leads me to think it's a trials car?

I asked Morris Bishop if he knew about this one, but it does't ring a bell with him.
He says there were many copies around at the time!
