	Tamiya / Tamiya style Named after a respected builder of this style, these are the more traditional of the Owner Type Jeeps here, but this style is still defined by its lowriding wide wheeled, low arch gap stance. Tiquia / Tikya Style A more recent development of the low stanced Tamiya style Jeeps. Mr Tiquia (who I think runs Tikya Toy Performance) and some others are building these short wheelbase Jeeps.

	I reckon if you were handy with the metal folder you could make that yourself, and base it on whatever chassis you've got laying around... *wanders off to consult with Brother who works in ventilation duct making

Do you happen to know anyone who has previous experience of this route?

	Not so much a Jeep style, but I might know someone who has built a very un-dutton like car on a dutton chassis

I think these are all built on pre used chassis, which are restored and updated in house at the various builders with new bespoke body work. There are many with IFS which presumably also comes from a common donor, though lots also still have leaves on the front but with a tube axle were at some point there was a driven axle. It has been mentioned that the Tamiya style tend to be the ones built with the fancy engines SR's/4age that sort of thing.But it's all been going on a while and theres all sorts used in both now.

I hadn't realised there were quite so many recycled pics from in there. Always pleased to see them. If I was able to fund two cars and had the skills and time, I'd build one

	I do wonder if any of these would be able to pass a legal MOT and get on the road over here. Still love them a whole load.

	grizz There's your front bumper! Not necessarily the numberplate... Also, I think this thread shows you don't want to worry about hiding your front suspenders!!!

	Many of those chassis are pretty similar to Rian's car. But it would have required so much re-engineering for this look. They do look like a fun thing to build from scratch. I'd be tempted to use the entire Mx5 running gear, with a ladder chassis around it, size the body to match, built from sheetmetal
