Dear Weissman type ppl...

That is how you do a fastback.

Thankyou
English sports car type ppl.

While the Weissman, isn't exactly a kick in the t*ts, this is fantastic!

I'd like one in red with racing stripes and some racing stickers.

Hasn't this hardtop (sans gullwing bits) already been done?

The roofline has been done on a Cobra before, see www.cobratops.co.uk

I say good luck to them, and hope it works. Visited the factory in Malta several times, shame it went wrong as always enthusiastic.
Interested to read the comment from 'Dave Dax Builder'.
Let's see if the car makes an appearance at Monaco on Thursday and if so it is well photographed.

I'd already made a point of mentioning Cobratops in my earlier post Jeremy....

THE hairy-chested sports car.

[stew-S160]

WOW. this is what it takes to unite PH into agreement. lol.

seriously though, that car, that's just sex that is.

[DJC]

Well despite the various opinions of er...the legality of the car, drawings and designs at least in 5 pages ph is united in one aspect...*that* is how a sports car should look.

Aplogies for dragging MX-5's into yet another forum but has /does anyone manufacture something along these lines as a bolt on to an MX-5?

Your best bet is to stripe your MX-5 and then visit flyinmiata.com to bolt in a Chevy V-8, Tremec transmission, and CTS-V rear differential. Combine that with a set of coilovers, bigger brakes, and wider wheels and tyres. The results will be striking, sexy, and will absolutely eat the lunch of half the Cobra replicas on the road and *every* factory Cobra ever built. Your track days will never be the same again. It won't attract the ladies quite like a Cobra, but no body kit for the MX-5 would either.

Ooh. Do I feel silly now! (Well, not very..)
GT Spirit.com ( http://www.gtspirit.com/2009/04/16/monaco-2009-ac-...)bring you pretty pictures of the AC MkVI, albeit without hardtop:

Looks like a tojeiro to me.

And so again I say 'You'd struggle to buy anything more beautiful than that!'

...Except Dax have lost the rights to that name now.

Fingers crossed that the MkVI becomes more than a prototype, there are some obvious UK IVA test fail points, but hey, it`s early days.

[duggan]

Saw it in the flesh today. IMHO it's not the way the company should be going.....

JT's daughter decided she wanted to up the royalties for using his name 10 fold, Dax declined. Allegedly
