It says it's a Wildmoor Snake.

It looks like someone thought they were buying a finished car

"BEING READVERTISED DUE TO MIX UP

SO TO GET IT RIGHT YOU ARE BIDDING TO BUY A

FULL SET OF FIBER GLASS BODYWORK

A POWDER COATED CHASSIS

WITH A FULL SET OF WISHBONES"





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I quite like the bodywork on that - it was at a few shows a couple of years ago but not seen one since.

Shame about the stupid cage which is obviously too low

Cheers

Does the lack of any sort of triangulation not worry anyone?

it was called the snake because of its COBRA rear end .

im sure that chassis isnt finished .

altho i dont like the position of the triangulation on the rear hoop , will do pratically nothing like that , if it doesnt have anything else welded to it .

oh and the engine is quite offset .

disturbing though that he would try to sell a chassis without a picture of a finished one?! Leads me to think that that IS the finished product A truly awful design if so!

My thoughts too!
I also hate it when people are advertising themselves as a professional company and only give a mobile number to contact them on.

Hardly surprising there was a mix-up! I'm still not clear what you get for £3k - and that chassis doesn't appear to be powder coated.

Hi trust me it is one of the most god awful piles of cr#p youll come across. To give you an idea of there inteligence they tried to race that one in the kitcars with the drivers head stuck above the rollcage. They have tried just about every thing possible to try and sell them but every one walks away laughing.

LINK TO THIER WEB SITE
But please take no notice of thier race history as it just dosent exist and thier rolling road and race work is SIDS TUNE SHOP which is the biggest joke you will come across. It's what was linked to the vindicator race setup to give you an idea.

Cheers Matt

I don't like the front cage mounting, just halfway up a small round tube, crazy

you can see from the picture that your head does stick out further than the cage, this taken from their own site Rescued attachment EM2511061.jpg
