Mystery UK kit? Apal Corsa!
My Bulgarian friend Joe Lee sends in this picture of a somewhat “Marcos”-looking kitcar that he thinks is out of the UK and is sitting on a Beetle chassis. Anyone recognize it? Is it even a kit car? I could swear I recognize it but my brain just isn’t working tonight.
UPDATE: This is actually a Beligian kit made by dune-buggy company APAL, the CORSA (in many ways this car is philosophically similar to the Manx SR). To the best of my knowledge it was a 2+2 sportscar (admittedly the backseat was pretty tiny) built on a VW chassis made for the latter half of the 70s. It was made with both a hard-top with gullwings and as a full roadster.
This car was briefly marketed in the UK by Cartune.

It is a belgian kitcar.
This car is an APAL AUKI on VW platform.
You’re mostly right, yes — thank you, it gave me enough leads to figure it out. I’ll update the entry.
Apal is the constructor of many differents cars - the first they built is the Apal Coupé looking as a Porsche Abarth
then many buggies and finally a coupé receiving Mercedes mechanic
Apal who means “Applications Polyester Armé Liege” (Armed polyester application Liège (the city where is based Apal))
is there a url for more of these APAL’s?
