Walking through the back streets of Hyde in May this year I saw this car parked at the side of the road and didn't have a clue what it was.
It seems it's a 1993 Rickman kit car, produced by Rickman Engineering Limited, a firm originally established by Derek and Don Rickman in 1960 to make motorcycle frames for scrambles and later road racing. For a time they also made complete motorcycles, at first with Royal Enfield engines and later with other powerplants. In 1985 the company began producing a small four wheel drive kit car using various donor mechanicals, and according to the DVLA record this car has a 1.6 litre engine, possibly a 4-cylinder inline 1,599cc Ford Kent engine.
