Hi folks,

I have a friend with an old, unknown kit. He is working on bringing it back to life and is also trying to identify it. I've been around the kit car hobby since the early 1980s and have never seen this particular car.

Friends in publishing industry specializing in kit cars have not been able to identify it.

The car has 64-67 MG B running gear, fiberglass body, rectangular steel frame.

If that link does not work, try this one:

Then in the right bar, there is a link titled MG it Car...even tho it is not an MG.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

HI, I've just bought an arkley based on a 67 sprite and am trying to find out more about them. It is now registered RWE 415E although it has been previously registered as WVH2. It is registered as an arkley on the V5 and appears to have been an arkley since before '79 which is as far as paperwork that I have goes. It is rust free and will be an easy project although it has a frogeye bonnet on it at the minute. Pictures are at http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/7879744

Regards, John

I am looking for an Arkley SS for sale. Because of the registration rules in Denmark it has to be a pre 1973 model and I want a car with a 1275 cc engine. The colour and the condition is of minor importance.

Please contact Michael Nielsen, Denmark. Lundevej16a@sydfynsmail.dk

Hi all Arkley ss fans. I am in the process of restoring my 69 arkley and hope to have it back on the road by June. Just a stupid question as I would never sell it but what sort of money are they fetching these days in good all round condition? for fun take a look at my video on youtube

one of the most fun cars ever made.

 Hi, Andy

I would like you to know that I am hoping to get the ex. John Britten/Peter May car back on the track next year.

I have spoken to Peter and he thinks that I should race it in standard Arkley shape,

I last raced it in 1978 with an extended front and a brabham rear wing,

interestingly Peter did something similar to the front while he used the car, but removed it before he disposed of the car to Mark Birrell,

Allison Davies raced the car standard in the S.T.P.challenge.

Please find a picture of it with the front mod. and rear wing.

Best regards, Keith Hopwood
