I am sure Tamiya did a Caterham kit a few years ago, but a 'true' model of a Haynes Roadster would be a cool thing to have.

These machines although traditionally used for prototypes are being used more and more for manufacturing and are part of a group of technologies known as additive layer manufacturing (which is what we will be using it for). This is because every part that we make is bespoke.

OK guys this has generated a bit of interest so I have a price if anyone is interested, £129 plus P&P or collect from Stoneleigh. I can print in the grey resin which should look even better. If anyone is interested then please pm me.

John,

I reckon that has got a few people thinking hard.

I would love but it's too rich for me, nice work.

Cheers Ginge

gulp...I,d love to have one of these but sadly can,t afford one at that cost
Without doubt, the technology & equipment to make that chassis is top drawer stuff, but alas out of my reach.

maybe I should put the flatpack chassis kits price up ...only kidding.

cheers

Hi all, I have spoken to my MD and explained the concept of the locost/haynes roadster build your own car and he was very impressed. He is happy for me to produce these chassis in my own time so I can offer the model chassis for £80 if anyone is interested.

John,

Will you be bringing your dinky chassis to Stoneleigh? So we can all drool over it.

If I don’t spend the money I have just got from the sale of a scooter at the show I might have one off you.

Cheers Ginge
