The Midtec spyder (presume it's a spyder chassis) was designed and initially built by Lee Noble when he still did kitcars. The project then moved about a bit, last place I heard of it when they were still being made was at Stuart Taylor Motorsport.

It's reputed to handle very well, and the only real complaint was the body styling was a bit of an acquired taste.

If you just have the chassis and wishbones then it could be the basis for a body of your own design, but don't underestimate the effort required to make a body, and the talent to make it look good.

Nah, I got rid of my wife 5 years ago, why would I pay for another bad experience!

The motor in that Dutch one looks like a FIAT twin cam to me - don't know about the box though.

Hello gentelmen,

I was the owner of THE midtec chassis on the photo's .

I live in the netherlands and i am looking for a chassis again.. What would you like to receive for the chassis??

If enyone has some questions About the midtec or the chassis, please ask me..

Vincent


bayliss3 - 25/10/09 at 12:58 PM

Hi Vincent,

The chassis and wishbones etc. are located in Manchester, England and will be advertised in kitcar magazine for £800
or nearest offer. Let me know if you are interested ?

Thanks Steve.


Aquafresh - 1/11/09 at 12:55 PM

That would be a verry reasonable price for the chassis. But i think i am going to build a tiger avon in the near future. There is one here in the Netherlands that cought my eye.

But thanks for the offer! I think it will sell quick.. It's à verry good track car even as a road going chassis.

What are your kitcar plans for the future?


bayliss3 - 2/11/09 at 07:53 AM

Hi Aquafresh,
I was thinking of building the Midtec as a trackday car but now I am going to sell and stick to my sports bike.
cheers Steve.
