I just thought of showing you my two design proposals for a modern day seven update.

I would like to hear your feedback on the design direction I'm taking, and if it has potential

Hi Ben

I do have other renderings with SVA abiding front lights, and they are not the ones you see in some of those renderings.....

I'm in the process of deciding if I will be building a prototype or not, but it all depends on the feedback I get on these designs, and if its worth spending all that money.!!!!.

Cheers
Italo

My designs were based an the new Caterham svr, using that as a design parameter, but if you wanted, you could use any other seven replica chassis.......

I wouldn't design a new chassis because it would be more expensive to manufacture, but instead take an exhisting chassis and then place on top my new body design.

It's already expensive just to make new moulds for the new bodywork, I wouldn't want to get into designing a new chassis when I could find a decent one in the specialist car industry.

Maybe it will not have all your design specifications, but it won't cost you money,time, hassles and other to see the finished project through.
This could also turn out to be so expensive if you are not careful when planning....

Thanks for your feedback guys

Groomi
I agree with your point, in fact in my side view renderings,(not shown for the moment) I've done just what you reccomend, the windscreen is pushed forward and more angled.

The only problem is finding the right windscreen with the same curvature. The idea was to have an off the shelf Lancia Stratos replica windscreen, but I'm not sure it would fit the chassis, I will have to do my homework on this one......

On the Atom, yes I like the Ariel Atom concept and foresee an evolution of my seven concepts in that direction for the future...

A motorbike on wheels for the track, but with some weather protection.
So if you spotted some influence it was deliberate and will be more so in my other future concepts.

Very good points taken, I need your constructive critisism to improve the design

Cheers
Italo
