Looks like you've been looking at the Deronda rather a lot Italo 
A Deronda Coupe...Edited by qdos on Wednesday 8th June 14:35
....but in reality I was inspired by the front end of the ferrai 250 Tr 61 by fantuzzihttp://www.ferrari-wiki.com/wiki/Ferrari_250_TR_61...

Yeah it is nice I do like it.
You can't see out other than forwards. The roof unfortunately can't slope that low as it obscures your side vision
Perhaps try a Stratos type cabin, that would work

, but I understand what you mean...I would need a better chassis image to show a better side view...if you have something similar but directly from the side, it would make it easier to read the sketch.

On that page i was linking – the following photos appear of his creations.
Union Jag
Quick Comp, Does anyone recognise the front Grill?
Ferrabusa
He has also done a 34 Ford hot rod with a Locost style frame so that it handled as well as a V8 powered bike using a simcar engine. Ill have to try and find some more photos of them. I have only seen photos as I have missed catching up with him whenever he has been down here.

, I like them.ajprice said:
Wasn't sure whether to put this here or in the 3 wheel cabin scooter thread, but I'll put it in here because this is a 4 wheeler , either way it isn't a kit car, but its interesting. There's a new Audi concept on the way, for a 1+1 city car, probably an EV. Officially, they have released these sketches today, ready for the Frankfurt show...

Unofficially, this has been seen out and about...
http://www.autoweek.nl/autonieuws/17248/audi-stapt...
So it is a runner and not 'vapourware' thats never going to work. If anyone can translate the Dutch article better than Google can, what are they on about?
I like this concept because it's very close to the kitcar ethos and the idea of a sliding roof has been in the back of my mind for quite a few years now... , either way it isn't a kit car, but its interesting.

I would love a replica of the old 50s F1 cars (cigar shapped things) but with wheel guards so it could be used on track days. Single seater. Dunno if a kit exists?
I expect they do at super high prices but I dunno why a reasonably priced kit couldnt be produced, cant be any more complex than a 7 surely?
This is the only single seater that I've found on the net that would fit your brief, I believe it's a street legal Lotus 51I expect they do at super high prices but I dunno why a reasonably priced kit couldnt be produced, cant be any more complex than a 7 surely?

I'm posting a few images of a concept car exhibited at the Frankfurt Show 2011 that could be manufatured by any kitcar company, maybe slightly more lowtech but still feasble .
