retro or contemporary body work?
Every now and again the question gets asked about full bodied GRP to fit the Roadster chassis or a version of it so given the choice between retro 50-60's or a new contemporary design what would you want? Don'y worry I'm still working on the basic body parts with the enclosed wings just looking in to expanding my options towards the middle of the year.
Here is what I had in mind by retro but would it make the Roadster more of a replica than making some thing new and contemporary? So thoughts... Jag D type  Ferrari 625 spider  TVR  p538-Barchetta

The Ferrari 625 spider looks good, but so does the p538-Barchetta.
But in the end i would go for the Barchetta with it's modern styling. Terry

Something modern, but simple and achievable.

I think retro would look better and be more popular. With the greatest respect, a lot of 'contemporary' design looks dated fairly quickly and unless its a clone of something established there's a real risk you'll end up with a quirky 'marmite' design... You might appeal to a few mavericks, but i think the fact that so many kits are replica rather than 'new' designs tells its own story...

My vote's for classic - something along the lines of the fisher fury would be good!

The Fisher Fury would get my vote, the shape is timeless and as long as the paint is kept in good condition they look the dogs bits.

If you want a Fisher Fury, get a Fisher Fury. They look ugly as sin with bike or larger engines in. People put Frankenstien bonnets or blisters on them. I'd say classic D type for a Haynes chassis. Anything like a Lotus 23 is too small.

The raw fulcrum is a good example of a interchangeable body on a 7 chassis
