That must have spent a lot of time out in the open. The tubes may be so compromised with rust that it will need a new chassis built if it is ever to run again. Look like Lotus wobbley webb wheels.

I am in regular touch with Roger and indeed he is still heavily invoolved with mining in West Africa as well as trying to resurrect his aviation interests. A charming man and a great lunch guest as there is not much he hasn't done!

Found some more of the red car at Zwartkops, open bodywork, may be useful to you.

Chassis looks less complex than yours.
