Introduced in 1971 in Gloucestershire (UK) the Mumford Musketeer was designed and built by Brian Mumford. The vehicle was sold as a kit and based around a Vauxhall Viva using the Viva engine, gearbox, front hubs and brakes. The Viva prop shaft drove the single rear wheel via a specially made final drive system. The fibreglass body was was attached to a riveted aluminium monocoque chassis and featured fold down head light covers and a detachable hood. In 1983 a Series 2 was introduced with modifications to the body. It is believed to date that only four Series 1 models were sold along with six Series 2 models.
