Nice one Andy, pulled another blinder.
I'm now expecting you to design a car that costs 50 quid to build, runs on tap water, and looks like something designed in Italy. Turns from a single seater, to a 2 seater, to a 4 seater at the touch of a button. Oh yeah, and it flies, literally. At Mach 2. I'll log on in a fortnight to download the plans! :) |
I second that as 50 quid would be well spent:D
Only problem here is mx5 go for silly money no matter how old and regs state that for building a clubman the engine has to be '99 or newer:eek: |

Any pics yet Andy? |
There are some pics Fabby but i'm still not happy with the rear suspension, so until revision 5, at least, there wont be any pics - wont be long though then i can cad the chassis.
Don't want much do you Alan......:eek: If the chemists get their fingers out and split water into its elements, cheaply, we'll all be running on tap water. I reckon they already can but the Arabs and Texans have put a hold on it until they've sold all the oil.....;) Cheers...Andrew |

I can fully understand the need for a new donor and why the mx5 is suitable but my daft head is finding it hard to fathom why you would break a sports car only to make another one? If Mx5's are cheap why not just strip it out fit a cage and run it as it is as no IVA to pay for....:confused:
Unless it's a smacked car but then surely chances of things being poggered are high? |

And we are all daft.....Andrew |
Well that's fair enough......good to know I'm not alone in being daft :D

Well done Saturn
A huge well done to you Andy.
The MX5 donor option is a huge step forward in the development of the Haynes Roadster :cool: Even more delighted that you are willing to share all of the development work with us mere mortals :D Having watched Saturn go from strength to strength, I have nothing but admiration for all that has been achieved in such a short time. Customer service and promoting the Roadster as a self build concept, as allways, first & foremost. Passion for the brand ahead of just making a quick buck .... What more can you say :) Look forward to following your progress :cool: |
That's great news! I love Japanese cars :) MX-5 was inspired by the classic British roadsters, and is a faithful modern tribute to them, their direct descendant.
However, pragmatically, I'd be more enthusiastic about a BMW donor. MX-5's are quite rare around here. On one used car ads board there are 37 Sierras and 5 MX-5's, the cheapest one having the asking price of 3500 quid, and over a thousand E36 Bimmers. |
