Maybe JABS II?

Also known as a "John Anthony Benson Special".

I did not use google and I believe I have correctly identified it.

"Free beer for ANYONE that identifies this without google"

I competed in sporting trials for a while as a passenger and it was great fun.  Open diff and fiddle brakes on the rear wheels and it was amazing what they would do and the slopes they could climb.

               

I sold my Caterham to buy a sporting trials car but in the interim we moved to West Wales. 

 

Guess what? They don’t do sporting trials in Wales and I couldn’t get much further away from where they hold the events.  The nearest event to me is in Gloucestershire – a 3 hour drive away and I didn’t fancy all that trailering to the SW and SE for all the other events.

 

Which, of course, is why I now have a Westfield.
