In the USA for a couple of days. One of these outside the hotel...

550Hp, 2000lbs dry weight. Luckily it does not rain much in California....

Looks like a Jaguar/Cobra love child....

Sweet...

LC470 for me, but with different, more trad wheels please....and AMG mill

...looks a little like a longer more grown up Sylva Phoenix

[Eric K]

That's lovely. (the LC470)

[Dominic]

They are nice indeed! Engine placed well back in the chassis. Should be quick looking at the amount of weight it has to shift.

Jeebus Cripes! Chevvy or AMG lump in a kit car that doesn't look too disgusting... That's just awesome!

What are you implying about kit cars normally?...



P.S: did a google image search to find that - among the results was an Atom

[graeme]

Pfff, who'd want an Atom when you can have a MEV Rocket!

PS, don't talk to me about effing kit cars. I used to get dropped off at school in this:

I'm still in therapy for that.

Was your dad the pope?

Did you have to drive slowly and wave to the crowds as you passed

[rossybee]

Graeme, there's a brown and black one of them kicks about dundee albeit "only" a four-wheeler

[graeme]

Terrible, aren't they?

My dad's was cream, a "Huntsman" model. 6 wheels, Austin 1300. FWD, so the back wheels are just for extra drag in case 55mph flat out gets a bit scary. It spent many years parked on Den's Rd, stickered up for advertising.

He sold it in a kit car mag for pennies, and after it disappeared from it's usual parking space on Dens Rd, about a dozen people came in asking where it was, and "oh, I wish I'd known you were selling it..." Obviously all mental up that end of town.

Nearly bough one of these before buying the elise, Rover K power and witha stiffer chassis than the elise.

[Dominic]

Stiffer chassis than the elise ....really?

That actually rings a bell...
