Middy with its clothes off.

This looks interesting, a new shape yet some how classic to me.

Check out the frame on the table in the background of one of the shots.

looks like a model airfix kit

The "chassis" is from the Gelmar Arbitrage GT, reclothed - My biggest concern is that it spells an end to the Arbitrage itself which is IMO one of the best looking designs out there.

looks a bit exposed, not much chassis protection for it's driver and passenger

Its a carbon/kevlar composite semi monocoque with collapsible fore section and subframe rear section. Given the choice of that or a few bent steel tubes around me, I know which I'd prefer...

Delinquent,
the design in your avatar, looks exellent, also quite similar to the Arbitrage. Have you got any more pics/details of your build, would be very interested to see it!
Cheers,
Toby

Cheers Toby,

The similarity has been pointed out before - A friend saw mine, commented on how similar it was to the Arbitrage and led me to their website. I nearly scrapped my project in favour of buying the Arbitrage but it doesn't have one thing I want and have included in my design - 3 seats.

Unfortunately mine is on hold at the moment due to workshop "issues" but rest assured once those are solved I'll be pressing on. In the meantime a pic showing a bit more of the CAD work.
