hi
yes a 70's-80's kit, hence the q plate.
most i think were based on a vw chassis, as were lots of kits then (jago jeep etc?)
i was always interested in kits back in the 80's.
not usre why they could not retain the vw chssis date etc, and would have had a 'propper' reg.
however nothing wrong in q plates anyway, but some kit car 'people' seem to frown on them.
i wanted on of these

Hi Andy,
That's right.
For the rest of you the answers in the ebay title/listing....der....
During my yoof I build 6 VW beetle based kit cars, but never the eagle as they really are pants. looks like an illegitimate child of a porsche 928 and our beloved Delorean.
You may also remember the Avanti, the Nova and the Karma. All VW based freaks from the early 80's
Oh those were the days when you could drive around in a £10 car, a full tank of fuel for £8 and when the splines wore down on your steering wheel you'd take it off and drive around with mole grips instead of a steering wheel
No seat belt laws, speed cameras or political correctness, kids didn't stab each other, and people were courteous. We all had respect instead of just demanding it. And you could build a death trap of a car get a Q plate and drive it around without a care in the world.
Wow that eagle SS brings it all flooding back.
Just eat a kitkat at traffic lights and your banged to rights today
Regards
D
