Those or the 5 spoke version in black on a green body

I have been following the discussion on wheels with some interest as I intend to order a MEV Replicar later in the year, rebuilding the garage as we speak.
My vote would be the wires as shown but not chrome as I think this gives a very bling look, I would paint in either silver or a dark contrasting colour to the body work I.e dark green to a British Racing Green. Body.

Colours are always a personal choice, BRG has been the most popular so far by far. We have done a few in old English white, my favourite is the red with a Ferrari inspired badge.

I actually quite like the battle ship grey one in the background but still think the 250 GTO very light green/lime would look brilliant with black trimmings.

A bit of a thread resurrection here, but here's one spotted last Sunday. Looks better sitting a bit lower.

The red one in the picture built by MEV (second body type with doors and boot) is up for sale on eBay, dont know where the green MEV built (first body type no doors or boot - although mould lines exist to provide cut lines) Replicar is but I know it had yellow 'lipstick' when it appeared on the one show.

Looks nothing like a Replicar (which, when I was 16, my parents for some reason refused to buy for me.)

I've just discovered these kits and am amazed! The thing is I can't drive a manual – will this kit work with an automatic donor car?

Stuart sold the rights to produce this car a couple of years ago (maybe more - time flies)
Contact is Andy at ANC Sportscars - a very helpful chap!

I don't see why not, there is plenty of space around the gearbox so I would think the auto box would fit. You'd need to modify the front part of the gearbox tunnel to accept the auto shifter but you have to cut the hole for the manual lever, so that's no problem. The fornt section is just a piece of bent aluminium. The nice thing (for me) is that there is plenty of flexibility in the design to allow you to do pretty much what you want.

This is a shot of my chassis with the manual gearbox and running gear.

With the gearbox cover on - I modified mine from the 'standard' one piece


There's an active FB group and a Replicar section on the MEV owners forum
