Eagle kit car; Ford 2.0 Pinto engine; Ford running gear; lightweight GRP bodywork; driven 30 miles to the saleFirst registered in August 1989, this Eagle RV Jeep was built from a kit supplied by Eagle Cars Ltd of West Sussex.

It has a lightweight glass fibre body sat on a box-section tubular steel chassis with Ford running gear.

It has a twin-carb Ford Pinto 2.0 engine with automatic choke mated to a Ford gearbox and rear axle.

It rides on 16” Alascan wide wheels fitted with a set of chunky all-terrain tyres.

We are told that it has recently been fitted with new heavy duty shocks front and rear, with poly bushes fitted to most of the suspension. It has aluminium checker plate floor pans and a capacious covered rear load area. We are further told that: “It runs and drives well with strong pulling power, and burbles along at 50mph with a fruity sound from the big bore side-exit exhaust”. The paintwork has been deliberately distressed to give it that essential ‘Rat Rod’ look.
