Here is a link to pics of my car.
Does anyone know what make the chassis is? It looks a bit like a Halifax but not sure. It's too good to be home made. The running gear is morris minor.
Thanks
Andrew

There is a paragraph about Microplas in my copy of British Specialist Cars by Chris Rees.

According to Chris the Mistral used a 7ft 6in Ford chassis. The other model, called Stiletto, was intended for the 6ft 9in Austin Seven chassis.

I inherited a book from my father, The Construction of Ford Specials by John Mills, but the pictures don't offer any clues.
