Hello all,
I've been looking into an Austin Seven I'm currently mulling over, which I believe some of you may be familiar with. The car was built in 2009/2010 or so, and used for perhaps as little as one VSCC trials season in 2011.
It's a rather peculiar car, in that it has a 'Brescia' style body, with external controls.
I've found a few pictures and videos of the car across the internet, but given it's unique body and seemingly well constructed nature, I wonder if anyone would be able to shed some more light on the vehicle; who constructed it etc.
I should note I can't find it on the register, and have only found one thread on this forum drawing reference to it:

Any help would be appreciated,

What an odd thing. Why try to make an Austin 7 into something that it isn't.
It reminds me of someone trying to make a Triumph Herald into a Bugatti Type 35.

Odd is certainly one way to describe it! However, it does offer an interesting alternative to yet another Ulsteroid, and I think represents something a bit more playful than one of the more popular bodies seen on specials.
Certainly going to be a controversial car though!

Isn't it just, I like it as well.
Here is another similar one that I always admired, built by Steve Hodgson:
