No idea what it is. But it looks real old. 70's maybe? I'd even have to wonder if that's more or a rental kart, than a racing kart.

Re: Kart brand & vintage - help
To me it looks like a Deavinsons Enduro / Rental type .. Kart out of the UK Circa early 1990s
The give away for me are the extra wrap round front bumper attachment points and the two motor parallel frame . This was used for twin engine endurance racing (Engine each side ) thats why the brake is in the middle at the rear. The extra uprights by the seat were used to be able to quickly add weights and remove weights during driver changes.
The Nylon Tie Rods are a give away to being used as a Enuro or Rental Kart too.
Thats my best guess.

Apparently according to my sources in the UK it is indeed an early JB kart (Joss Boxen)
