afternoon!

just saw what looked like a sj van, red with bull bars, near sway in hampshire.

but as it got closer, it had a circular badge on the front. couldn't make it out though.. also the spare wheel was off to one side (i think they are mounted in the middle on tin tops?) :er:

any ideas :?:

there a kit-car, usually based on a ford escort chassis so there RWD not 4WD.

Yeah most are based on 2wd fords but as its a kit car the fiberglass body can be put on any chassis, they do have an owners club http://www.rickmancarsownersclub.org.uk/ to be honest I don't know much about them, one used to park at my old works car park, I thought it was nice looking car!
