I've been in touch with the seller.
Apparently the kit was left to him by a friend in his will. He has the suspension arms and other parts he can't identify which may belong to the kit. He's not sure if it's set up for Alfa or Lancia but may take photographs of the engine bay which will allow us to identify it better. I've suggested he updates the listing with photos of the other components which might make the kit a lot more viable.

Well done Guy. It will make a good base for someone.
Corse can be built into a nice car.
Can't be many in this state still?
The eBay listing has ended.
New eBay listing now, but with more photos.
I'm guessing the live Fiat Axle is for rear calipers?
'Looks like you get some Beta wishbones, that you didn't want?
Can't see any use for the Beta wishbones.
And those are twin cam engine mounts aren't they?
I don't recognise the rack as the Litton item either. Is it Chevette?
Still not seeing 18K - and the extra photo's just reinforce that view. I can't see even half that value in it.
Looking at the standard of work with the pedal box, brakes and steering I would be viewing any of the work done on it up to now with deep suspicion.

Out of curiosity - did the factory modify the hubs by welding the tube on the bottom to suit the lower wishbone - and if they did, why leave the steering arm on?
Looking at this John - could it be a Beta rack?

I hear what you are saying at ?18k but ?10k could be more realistic asking price.
Comparatively by todays standards a chassis would be ?5k as would a body set. After that you have a full set of wishbones and the modified rear hubs.
The pedals are scrap, the rack is scrap, the glazing is probably history as well as the screen will have delaminated and the side screens won't be E marked.
The rear hubs were modified by Litton, I can remember seeing the precut webs at Halton Gill.
They were maybe done on an exchange basis & I guess it was left to the customer to cut the original steering arms off if they fancied it.
I've seen cars with and without the arms in the past.
