I had a Phoenix Phantom, I loved that tent.
Phoenix were a breakaway from Vango, the Vango Force 10 uses "A" poles at each end with a ridge pole between them.
The top of an "A" pole is a plastic fitting with holes for 2 poles and a spike.
Phoenix tended to use an "A" pole at the front end and a small single pole at the back end giving the tent the appearance of a wigwam with a bit sticking out.
The poles and fly sheet were erected first then the inner tent pegged down inside the flysheet and hung from the flysheet.
Zip doors in the flysheet and inner tent allowed storage in this area and ventilation in really hot weather.
Hope this helps.

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.

Could it be the Phoenix Tramp?

It looks like a phreak. If it had been double A frame it would have been a phortress but the phreak was a sloping ridge with A frame front and small bell entrance.
I go Phreak.

All tents have an information tag on the right hand side of the inner tent as you go in, it should tell you what tent it is.
I told you it had a "A" pole at the front end lol.

If it is still waterproof and not succumbed to the dreaded UV, then you have an excellent tent there.

I had a very similar tent with external A frame at the front once; a Hobo Fan I think it was called. Borrowed by a 'friend' and never returned, unfortunately.
