Spotted a rather poorly looking spyder on the back of a trailer heading eastbound on the M56 today.

passenger compartment looked ok - so hopefully no one hurt

these little babies are pretty damn tough for a kit car IMO

shame no one wants to buy mine :-(

got the gtm and the hsv for sale - we have a baby on the way! :-) - really scuppers my chevette rally car project though.... never mind i can always mothball it for a few years

The only White Spyder I've ever seen was 1.1 owned by a young lad.....

That Spyder belongs to my friend Anthony. He and his Dad built it, using a 1.1 engine. It's now running a 1.4 16v GTI, so much faster, obviously too fast! He's ok, no injuries. The car seems to have held up well. Unsure if it’s repairable yet, waiting on insurance assessors.

good to hear that the lad was ok...

as you say - seems to have held up well - dont think i'd like to chance it in many kit cars to be honest

You can't have a V6 in a Spyder. You can in the Libra though as marcevo will tell you....

The car mentioned above has what looks like fairly light damage, but has a couple of holes punched through the tub........
