It doesn't need much more than is in the pic! Fuel tank, seats, maybe some little ally sides sweeping down from the cowl. And a proper unusual engine! Nsu would actually be pretty cool in there, dressed up like an Indian 4, ooh or a pair of jap singles joined together!
Always wanted to do one of these. |

Looking for a suitable rolling chassis (and somewhere to build it).
Yes I know I could make a chassis, (probably the easier route )but I have no idea how you would get a new vehicle like this, through BIVA. Perhaps some more investigation is required.

Most of it doesn't seem too much of a problem. What I'm really having problems with, seat height/head restraint and three point belts and their upper mountings. Done a few preliminary sketches but these really ruin the look. Sorry about the thread hijack Shaun  |

Ways round both of those plus you are allowed to use full harness as well. Start another thread and we can chat .

Yup, passable on BIVA Shaun. Thing to remember is that it isn't that much different to aLotus 7 replica in requirements. Side steer is a bit of an issue though I've thought of ways round that should be acceptable. |
