Picked up a major project this week, and as I understand it, the Scorpion was a Bradley offering back in the day. I have surfed the WWW, and find very little info available, so I thought this would be a good place to ask questions. This car looks typical of many kit cars.... like a few former owners tried and failed to make something out of it, and gave up.

I'm wondering if any of you have any experience with the Scorpions, and also if anybody has any pieces and parts kicking around. Also wondering if anybody has any links to Scorpion info they'd be willing to provide.

Car is mostly all there as near as I can tell, but I really can't find any decent pictures of a Scorpion to be sure that's what it is, and to see what a properly completed car is supposed to look like.

Thanks,
B

From what I understand the Scorpion has the back of a GT and a different front.

Most parts are either VW, Marine, or universal in nature. The exception being body parts of course. Post up what you need and people will respond.

If you post a picture of your car we will be able to identify it. Years back I looked at one and passed on it.

The back looks like a Bradley, but somebody glassed over where the engine cover is supposed to be.(crappy job I might add), I wonder if a Bradley cover would fit??...I've done a number of Manx and Manx clone projects, and had a blast with those, so I thought something different would be cool. I'll post up some pix when I get it home, and thanks for the response.

If you get a chance get another 3/4 shot like the first pic in ur second post showing the back glass. Looks like the tilt backend would give good engine access. Jon
