I bought a chassis yesterday and am having trouble deciding which model it is. It has cups to take 2" dia springs at the front and has what i presume is a triumph top wishbone (which splits in half) and a simgle mounting for track control arm also has a tube fitting at the front for what I can only assume is a bonnet hinge any info welcome, many thanks Steve

Could be a Phaeton S3, S4 or a Melos Tim Dutton went through a phase of using ford lower arms and hubs mated to a Triumph top wishbone and shocker. Amber uptons S4 is the same i will give you a call re body mounting brackets to see if i can id it further.

malaga has small round metal going across chassis at the very front looks like front end attaches to this so front fibreglass bonnet can swivle up (think)
