Not sure if this is the best place for this, but my other half wants to help build a car, but she dosen't like my mnr

she would like something like a spitfire, with doors and a windscreen, however i'd rather not restore a rotten rust heap but build something from new any suggestions??

Maybe a Fury or a Stylus.

There's always the tifosi rana too - sure you'll have to tackle a rusty midget chassis, but the majority of the car will be replaced with grp panels.

i think spartain where triumph based

i remember a le mans gt6 replica,based bon a dead spitfire.i cant remember the manufacturer though.

How about Zetec powered MGB, just finished and MOT'd mine, but being 6'4", the top screen rail is right in my line of sight!!!! so its up for sale.

What about a Stryker type car?

Like Jasper's but slightly less flambe'd!

Very civilised with heated screen and door etc. But nice and light and fun too!

Cheers,
James

it's definatly got to be a kit to build from new that's the whole idea

Bit older style i know but i spotted a TR3 kit in a kitcar mag whilst waiting for the Mrs to get some shopping, it looked fantastic - if your other half likes that style of car.

T6 motorsport

TR3 kit wasat Stafford, looks really nice,

however, how about going for more of a sensible
sports saloon type car, be able to use it all year
round. Marcos style of some sort ?

My favourite would be the Autotune Gemini

But the Caburn Hurricane might fit the bill

If it was me, and I'm mighty tempted, it would one of THESE!

Or, a TR6, everything available from Rimmer Brothers and the Heritage motor company.

The guy that owns our local hardware shop has built a 5exi:



based on a rover I think (never mind )

Not a Spitfire I know, but actually quite a nice looking motor.

J15 is a bit lacking in the door department, going back to the original specification.
