New British Midi.........
.......no, its the Strathcarron. Again! I do hope that the current owners have more success with it. Is it my imagination, or was the Marlin 5Exi
developed from the original strathcarron moulds?

The Strathcarron became the Javan R1, officially, are the Marlin 5Exi and this one copies?

I really liked the look of the 5Exi when I saw it, but I'm afraid for a 2 seat middy, I couldn't see the point of building one, when a
second hand Elise would handle better / hold it's value better etc, for a similar overall cost.
I can see even less point in spending £25k on a middy (unless it significantly out-performed a production middy).
I think the Strathcannon / 5EXi have "very" similar bodyshells, but the chassis are different. I think the 5Exi was tubular and the
Strath was honeycomb ally?

Saw this in the flesh at the Autosport show at the NEC. Looked familiar. I can see where the money goes but not sure that there will ever be a
market for assembled kit cars.
As Guinness said, a second hand Elise would be better
