Like the mechanically similar Jago Geep, the enine is too far forward. You would always be struggling for grip when compared to the rest of the class. An Alternative To A Dutton? Only for masochists!!
My original intent was to point someone towards what may be a cheap entry into classic trialling and also could be used in other forms of motorsport that triallers may do eg; PCT's, PCA's Autosolo etc . Whilst I fully realise that the dynamics of the vehicle may well be all wrong, trialling is littered with vehicles that are not at the cutting edge of performance in their class as many people trial just for the pure fun off it. Why would anyone, for instance, use a Skoda Bugrat, all 1300cc of puny power, in Class 7 if they wanted to compete for outright honours? FUN. Also its basic Ford RWD technology, easy to sort, pretty bullet proof mechanicals, no electronics to faff about with and theres a wealth of knowledge around about the mechanical parts in trialling to be able to upgrade if required. AND, what price are other usable vehicles becoming for prospective new entrants into the sport. Kit cars CAN be a cheap form of entry into our sport if you just want fun and experience before committing larger funds.

Like buses, you wait ages for one then two turn up at the same time.

More like one person sees it, and thinks "at last - maybe someone would want to buy this pile of junk" and puts their on the market.
