just been on the madgwick website looking at the srv8 and clicked on the the main kit link. click Take a look and let me know if i am just nit picking but if that is the main chassis surely there's gonna be a lot of flex in the car.

er, hmmm...

It looks to be an attempt at a ladder/space frame cross. Which hasn't worked.

i think its called a backbone chassis.
mmm, tvr used them a lot i think?

tvr's backbones were a lot bigger though?

Looks pretty average for a Cobra copy to me, cheap and chearful, but not the real deal. Ray

That would NEVER pass the torsion test here in Australia.

There's a lot missing from that chassis but I guess when you're obsessed with having a cast iron V8 and a replica Cobra, the handling and flex issues wouldn't bother you too much.

I think that was the original Southern Roadcraft chassis from the early nineties, hence the SR part in the title. A well thought of car.

Similar to AK and the like. I went to AK to place a deposit on one a few years ago, couldn't wait to put my cash down, until I went for a test drive

Found that the Garder Douglas is more my cup of tea, this thing handles

Pretty crap, like most of the lower budget Cobra chassis.
