So dreaming on the fluke-motorsport website again and I find a link to this on the "Kit Car trader" website.

Anyone seen anything like this?!

The upper suspension pick point to chassis section (s) made me wince straight away.

Spring mountings will flex something awful.

My initial thought was thiose wheels looked very similar to whats on Mk's new chassis - but closer look the tyres are defo different.


Mmmm - does look odd, but once its braced up as per whippys post it then looks too heavy. I wonder what body was planned?

Must have had a hole in the bonnet and associated ducting if the horizontal rad was going to have air sucked through it. So I'm guessing full body. Doors intended probably as otherwise there's no reason for the sides to be that weak.

Wonder what engine was intended. Doesn't look like enough room for a longitudinal mid. Transverse mid? Looks to heavy for a BEC.
