First build was the uno i had that for around 8 years sold that on but kept the engine in storage to later(10years later)to put in the sonic.the blue zx9 indy was my first kit next then the green R1 then the red R1 injection.Wanting to make use of my uno engine i wanted a mid engined kit with using a fiat x19 gearbox and changing the internals for better ratio sorting out engine mounts and driveshafts the sonic was my choice personaly the mev was a terrible kit but i wont go into that.I wished id of stopped at my green R1 that was my fav.
hoping these pics work sorry if they dont.

Wow, that Uno turbo, here in Italy was considered a coffin on wheels
Well, what about the Mev, is really that bad? car handling?

You have a serious Kit Car building addiction. You should give me the MK, when it's finished, and get some therapy

Love the Uno, although never was a fan of the Horman kit

I have a mk1 Turbo I'm deciding whether to restore or get rid of and concentrate on a kit car instead. 2 projects, 1 income isn't going to work no matter how much I try to convince myself otherwise

Store one somewhere and work on a sequential project basis rather than parallel - it's the approach I'm failing to take, but it does help with the mental (if not marital) justification side of things

Bloody hell, blast from the past. I bought the red mk off u, absolutely loved that car and it never missed a beat while I owned it. Nice build quality funny as I am in the process of looking at others to buy and I've just seen the Mev sonic up for sale on pistonheads. What was so horrid about it?
