![]() 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
![]() 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 ![]() |

![]() 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...... ![]() ![]() 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....
![]() Unless it's a smacked car but then surely chances of things being poggered are high? Last edited by fabbyglass : 25th January 2011 at 12:07 PM. |

![]() A huge well done to you Andy.
The MX5 donor option is a huge step forward in the development of the Haynes Roadster ![]() Even more delighted that you are willing to share all of the development work with us mere mortals ![]() 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 ![]()

![]() That's great news! I love Japanese cars
![]() 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.
