Hi, This is a pic of the car I had given, it's incomplete in the pic, but I have all the running gear. I understand it's old, as in about 20 years old.

The tank and the lower wishbones have FP'S moulded into them. The engine is marked XZ15. There does not appear to be any marking on the chassis.

The wheelbase is ~260mm.

For the early viewers, apologies for me messing about with the post, but this is an unfamiliar environment for me!

Any suggestions as to what the history of the car may be would bb appreciated, I will of course be gradually assembling it, but I want to get the chassis powder coated next, then I can start building the suspension back on..

it has some age on it that is for sure, but don't know how much myself.
notice the clutch mounts on the shaft backwards. i had a hawk or night hawk 2 wd 1/10 stadium made by ??? and the clutch was backwards on it.

It has the drive pinion close to the block, which seems good to me. It vibrates quite a bit when it's running, I guess that will be reduced when I add mass with the suspension etc.

I suppose a small single is almost bound to vibrate a lot, it's not a V12 after all!

I'm almost certain I can make out an O.S on the carb.
