Brunton chassis or a copy?

Not a Brunton; RHD and pic is from the UK. ???? :rofl:

[jlumba81]

Just curious since Factory Five ships their kits worldwide. Was wondering if Brunton did the same.

[xcarguy]

That's a very good question, and one I've never bothered to ask. But, having said that, I'm fairly certain those aren't Brunton chassis.

Black fenders and scuttle resemble Westfield, but the chassis and body are nothing like my car. They used to offer the SEiGHT but that had a Rover (formerly Buick) engine. Where did you get the pic?

Not a Westfield at all, but they *did* rip off the bodywork from Westfield.

I ran across the photo somewhere on Pistonheads. I did a bit of research and believe the car to be a Roadrunner Racing Ltd SR2:

It may be deceiving but that frame does not look as substantial as a Brunton frame, although there is lots of triangulation.

That's funny

I immediately noticed that too.

Yeah, there's certainly times when you can rely on your eyes and gut feeling and don't need FEA to declare that a chassis is somewhat lacking for the job.
