MK Fiat 500 replica

This sounds awesome spec, just need Big Ears to be your co- pilot.

That looks really weird

There's a white one in the UK somewhere, as I still think they can be quite cool if not done in quite the way that one is.

The bodyshell on that looks suspiciously like the old Dove Motor Company Barchetta 595.

Presumably someone got hold of the moulds or a copy of the bodyshell and MK knocked up a chassis for it?

The original design had involvement from both Peter Stevens and Gordon Murray, IIRC, so quite a pedigree.

Didn't someone on the forum have something similar for sale a while back ? Possibly UKLee? Sorry it it wasn't you.

You are spot on it is uk lee that had a blue one Martin Keenan made the chassis for it
in fact that looks as if it could be his old car with the MK badge on the front
