I think that reads "s10b" - does that fit in with Serpent's current numbering?

Actuallu it says S10B and if I had to make a wild quess about the manufacturer it will had to be one from the other side of the Atlantic. My quess would be either Serpent or O'Donnell

In fairness Mark, you could compare it to any modern style 4wd buggy and it would have similarities. But, i really dont think its a D4 rip-off at all, far too many differences.

And besides, it IS a castor. Jimmy just confirmed it in the NEWS section. So, debate over i think.

Certainly has some elements that look familiar but its one of the most unique buggys doing the rounds at the moment - at least in this PRO spec it is - D4 isn't machined from a lump of alloy is it! Very interesting.
