Well... looking to build a TR4 based got m into Triumphs in the
first place... Specifcally the Hunter (formerly known as the
Hathaway) kit car... The have since gone away (I dunno where).
You might look to find an old Devon (tho vintage racers seem to
suck them up as fast ast they can find them). I believe you may
be able to buy an Ambro. It's a sports racer type car the will look
rather exotic. I heard where the original designers are cranking
out bodies again (though it might be a rumor).
I think Bob Kamholz ("Cheesehead" to his loving pals here
in the midwest) found a Jamaican in either someone's backyard or
garage a couple of years ago. I think he may be in the process of
restoring it... You might want to look for one of those.
All in all I think you're gonna have trouble locating something
recent since most kit car manufacturers look for components from
vehicles still in production...
I'd put a want ad in the Kit car mags if you're serious.
