it was trialled in its early days which to some would add to its long life and history.Very sad not to have owned this lovely looking nippy. just dont have the knowhow to correct and put right the alterations or the cost for a professional to carry out
Thanks all. My search for a nippy will continue.

I don’t know much (anything) about Nippys but is the clue to the mods the fact that the car was trialled. Moving weight back over the axle and perhaps also to gaining more ground clearance/axle travel?
