Mini Scamp
The Mini Scamp is a "kit car" first built in 1969. Shortly after BMC Mini Moke production stopped in Longbridge.
The first Mark 1 kits which were styled similarly to the Mini Moke were produced by Robert Mandry in Reading, Berkshire.[1] They used the mechanical parts of a Mini and body made from a steel box section frame fitted with aluminium panels. Options included a van, estate or pick-up body and four or six wheel chassis. In 1974 the company moved to Woking in Surrey.
The Mark 2 version of 1978 had a squarer body and stronger chassis, not using the mini rear subframe.
In 1987 moved again to East Grinstead, Sussex, when ownership changed to Andrew MacLean.
The Mark 3 version started production in 1989.
This was followed by a version built on either a Suzuki SJ chassis or the Daihatsu F50/F55.
