The Mini Scamp is a "kit car" first built in 1969.
The first Mark 1 kits which were styled similarly to the Mini Moke were produced by Robert Mandy in Reading, Berkshire[1]. They used the mechanical parts of a Mini and body made from a steel box section frame fitted aluminium panels. Options included a van, estate or pick-up body and four or six wheel chassis.
The Mark 2 version of 1978 had a squarer body and stronger chassis and a further revision to the Mark 3 came in 1990. In 1974 the company moved to Woking in Surrey and in 1987 moved again to East Grinstead, Sussex.
