Hi, I'm new here, new to kitcars in general. I work in a garage, so I am always keeping an eye out for some sort of project to build. I found a chassis that I cannot find much info about, but it looked interesting. It has been listed as a wildmoor chassis, with body but it is in pieces. I will post pictures once it has been collected next week. I have an audi engine to put in it.

Welcome. 
 

Chances are it could be a home fabricated “locost” chassis as they often get named on the V5 by the builder 😁

Hi and welcome!

 

I seem to remember seeing what may be what you've purchased being up for sale recently..... a black enclosed body and a sevenesque chassis with inboard front shocks?

 

 

If it's the same car and I was to take a guess, I'd say the chassis is possibly a modified Fisher Fury or Sylva Striker/Pheonix.

 

I did have look into it online myself as it looked interesting and found Wildmoor Motorsport have a Facebook page but I think they're no longer running.

This one seems to be a tubular chassis, with a different body, it is like a lemans body, it is arriving midweek so I will get some pictures.

Len swan had something to do with Wildmoor I believe , he refurbished one of my westies a couple of years back , that was in Dudley , think they  are possible still there ,  this was mine back then being worked on

I’ve a feeling that the owner of Wildmoor passed away and hence the closure of the business. (Apologies if the info is incorrect!)

That’s a shame , he was a character and was always accomodating , really nice chap .

If this link works then this is the chassis, with a wildmoor body but it doesnt fit right, so I suspect that it's not the original body.
