Very nice, are you anticipating track use only or will it be able to be built for road use?

the car is to fulfill the fact people love the tytan but wish to fit bike engines which the tytan is too big for, main focus is trackday / race with the ability to register for road

That is exactly what I'm looking for!

Hurry up end of Feb.

Is it a 2 seater?

You need to be very good friends if it is. You need to be a climber to get into it by the look of the side pods.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

thats the one

its perfect size for two medium built chaps but if your a little bigger you may struggle, as for height the the side pod height is less than 2 foot high.

yep your right mark its owned by a guy called Bernard Armitage, it is actually coming to the area for allan staniforth to check it over before the season begins again
