Do a search on the internet, theres a builder out in States does all the bits for them to original pattern, including chassis. And there is a
fabricator in the south of England builds the chassis, but not all the bits. One or other of them might be willing to supply u plans.

Thanks, have done search before asked question but no plans turned up, but several people making then in UK, US and NZ.
There is a guy here in NZ making them but he's supplying the Japaneses market and wow what a price.
Thought the chassis could be made up as per locost if you had a set of plans. Body a little more difficult but could be done.
Any way cheers.

Hi all,
For those interested in full body cars, in the GTS De Dion forum section, there are pics of the 11 style bodywork, which we are developing as a
bodywork option for our standard 7 type kit.
Kind regards,
Darren

Two replicas of the 23 appeared a couple of years ago - one was called a Martini or Martyni. Can't remember the other at the moment, but
I'm sure I have a copy of Kit Car which depicts both cars at a show. Will have a look later.

Had a quick shuftie at the 23 again, the chassis is nowt to be afraid of but the cost of the wishbones, uprights, n things if u buy em in begs the
question.... why? Stuff replica classics, u may as well start from scratch and do somthing modern(ish)
Locost it aint
Yo Darren anyone SVA'd one of those 11 lookalikes yet, if memory serves me right those are the triton body tubs? Did they correct the headlight
height in the moulding to suit current requirements, the old moulds (Westfield) were too low from what I can remember.
Shug.
