Prefer the headlights when in relief as per the yellow drawing, but one pair would be enough I feel.
Could be easily made to look contemporary, it takes the modern chiseled look to the extreme but does appear to be made from plywood. Gentle curves in those flat panels could reflect the light well on a high gloss finish. Interesting.

How about something like this ?Could be easily made to look contemporary, it takes the modern chiseled look to the extreme but does appear to be made from plywood. Gentle curves in those flat panels could reflect the light well on a high gloss finish. Interesting.
Not so sporty as the 70s one but the detailing is modern.

I agree with you, a modern update could make for a modern kit in the lightcar niche.....Could be easily made to look contemporary, it takes the modern chiseled look to the extreme but does appear to be made from plywood.

William Towns did a good job with the concept.
Minissima in 1972
followed by Microdit in 1976
The Minissima actually went into small scale production as a vehicle for wheelchair users. Entry was via the rear hatch so conversion to allow a whhelchair access.
I remember seeing a Minissima (with wheelchair access) in the Brick Lane area of London in the late 80s.

That was an amazingly large car for what it was supposed to be. If I remember correctly the model (female) in the publicity pictures was very tall to make the car look smaller.Gassing Station | Kit Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
