MEV R2

Anyone seen this in the flesh or driven it? Nothing on MEV's new site about it yet, think it's under construction. Anyone hear of BEC version?

For anyone who's noticed how much I'm posting today - yes I'm in work and yes it's very quiet!

March Kitcar Mag did a wind tunnel article on this car.
Kind of reminds me of a modern Brooke ME because of the double bulge on the engine cover.

I like the look of it but can't see any rollover protection in the pictures I've seen, even with the engine cover off. I'd want something, even if it's only cobra hoops, but I'm not sure where you'd put them without messing up the look. Perhaps you could put hoops inside the double bulges but would they be high enough to save you?

The 2nd picture is the Rocket though - not the R2

Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

The second picture is the Brooke ME !
The rocket is a tandem two seater not a side by side.

Hi, thanx for your interest. Will be taking a customers electric powered R2 to Stoneleigh. Roll bar is an option, fits to bulk head. Couple of pics now on www.mevltd.co.uk 4k for a comp kit. Room for a bike motor and diff/reverse/tensioner or a Ford V6
