Well I have news, but it's not good!
According to this months "Which Kit" the jigs and moulds have been destroyed in a dispute about women.
I'll try to scan the article tomorrow.
Cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

it is really a pity, well for me it was an interesting car indeed..
Is there any 7 style car, that can put on an hardtop? and have windows!
i didn't see, maybe i didn't look good enough..
I am looking for a car-to-get, i was thinking about building a kit then sva in Uk and then register in italy, is a long way i know, but..the only
one.
The kit price should be around 5000-7000 for the complete in the box kit, with entry level building difficulty..
well, i am in look for hints, after the cyclone went out from the row, im out of ideas..
Nevermore!!!

Amazing. The kitcar industry is littered with the bodies of small upstarts, who's founders had lots of enthusiasm but little business smarts.
Many of them seem to assume everyone on earth will beat a path to their door, not realizing the harsh reality the the opposite is true.
Sorry for steering the topic off into the weeds...

If this has actually happened (not that I doubt "Which Kit" of course as they are known as a paragon of journalistic integrity  ) then
it's shocking shame.
The Cyclone is one of my inspirations and I'd be sad to think that it's gone for good. Although it does leave a nice opening for my new
book "The DIY Sportscar - Build a mid engined sportscar in your own garage" coming out next year

A damn shame. (KB, you're right BTW)
The Cyclone was one of my inspiration cars too.
However, it leaves the door wide open for my new book coming out next year in the USA. "Build a low cost mid-engine car in your garage for under
$50... and race it!" It's been done before. The exaggeration that is.
Mine will sell better than yours Dominic!
