When Isabelle and her husband first saw this buried in the snow in a backyard, they thought it might be a Vokaro because parts of the rear are similar, but the front is far too angular… Anyone recognize it? It looks like so many cars, but I can’t pin it down to just one.
Kinda reminds me of a Bradley GT from the front, but the back…im not sure…
I would say that this car is a MANIC. It was made in quebec as a kit with a renault as donor.
looks a bit like a strange buggy?
it is a bradly gt scorpian there is a bradly gt car club on line for pics. bradly gt.com
Ah yes, I think the SCORPION GT theory is correct!
No I’m sorry, but It’s not a Bradley GT Scorpion like you said, look at the head lights and the doors and a lot more, I know the base is a volkswagen bug 1972 14 inches chopped frame 1600cc
I really would like to know what it is !
yes this looks pretty much as a manic gt!
NO I’M the new owner and look at it carefully, it’s not a manic gt for sure.
Maybe it’s the only one in the world
I don’t think this is a Manic, but from the windscreen, it appears to have been partly made from a Renault donor car.
It has some of the clues of Bradley, some of the style hints of Manic, etc., and appears to be rear engine. Yet, it has a different sense of proportion to it than a Manic, does it not? I recall a Manic as having a more sloping windscreen placement than this car. It also did not have the gull wing doors, so if it’s a Manic, it’s a much much modified Manic..
Unless the photos are showing some distortion, this car appears to me more narrow and more upright than what I think a Manic should have looked.
Is there any chance the photographers might revisit the site and get a shot of it without the snow? If it’s a Manic, there should be three bolt wheels on it, unless the builder replaced the suspension with some other design (since the chassis was a Renault R8/R10 donor chassis).
its a Mini Marcos , midas
I would be willing to bet that it is an early Bradley GT. The removable roof section and rear end are all Bradley features, I’ve looked a several lately. The snow covers some of it, but I fell pretty certain that it is a Bradley.
Definately not Manic GT, more differances than similarities
Maybe with the new pictures someone will know what’s the name of that VW Kit car
This fits with my new 2080cc engine !! near 200hp
looks like an opel theres
a black opel in my neighborhodd that looks jsut like that
I know the car. It was developed and sold by Brossard Speed Shop on the South Shore of Montreal (Canada). I bought a traditional style buggy from them and had plans to buy this style as well, but eventually moved out west. I saw several unassembled bodies in their storage area so more than one existed. I can’t remember what they called it. I’m sure I still have the original flyer somewhere. If the owner needs this info you can give him my email.

Just to add to my previous post; the top comes off and the car looks more like a traditional dune buggy with a rear seat, sort of like Dean Jeffries’ Kyote. It also has a fibreglass windshield surround, unique for its time.

This is not a Manic GT! I have one, and it doesn’t look like this. Go to http://www.manicgt.net (french) and compare…
Just for information sake, this car is not a Scorpion (I own one and there are noticeable differences) I would say from looking at it, that it was originally a Bradley GT and the Lexan Glass door windows broke so they customized a set of doors to replace.
BELIVE THIS MAY BE AN EARLY MYERS MANX SR OR SR2 TAIL LOOK ALMOST PERFECT
I’m the owner and it’s not a myer manx sr as far as I know.
