Ant Ansteads new single seater

[LarJammer]

Anyone seen this? Looks cool and seems like good value. Not sure if it could be made load legal though.

Unlikely to be able to make it road legal, and I'd want to know the price of all the other bits before committing to the 'starter kit'!

I must admit that I can't see how you could fit lights and wings whilst keeping the (gorgeous) looks

Looks lovely. According to the site can be built in one weekend.
With all the donor parts reconditioned /blasted /painted and every part Inc fasteners all there from the kit it's quite possible.
With a donor being only £500 the kit will be the obstacle. Would imagine that's £40k + to finish..

Small lights could easily be fitted, the front either side of the grill and the rears onto the tail piece.
The car would pass an mot test without cycle wings so no problem there. It wouldnt pass C&U regulations but they're never enforced anyway.
Registration will be the donor cars as will the Vin number which can be cut/drilled out and re affixed to the 'new' car..

It needs an IVA. The days of running around with a donor VIN are long gone.

Probably do ok in the States as they are more relaxed about the rules than we are here.

If the donor car came with a V5 the Vin number, engine number & reg number are all there. No need for an IVA.

[AlmostUseful]

Surely the fact that it’s build around a completely new chassis it needs an IVA?

It comes with a new chassis so it will need an IVA,

You are thinking of the 8 point rule that comes in to force when you rebody an existing chassis.

Genuine question can you get a day time MOT for car? i know you can get them for bikes.

Yes you can but this still needs a iva as it isn't a mx5.

It was the same when the Exocet come on the scene with a few people saying just register it as a mx5 as it uses the mx5 chassis. Despite the fact a mx5 doesn't have a chassis but but the ppf design is the chassis was the argument used.
There still is a chunk of them registered and running as mx5s wont take long before they are stopped at questioned by a copper though.

As for the kit its nice but kind of pointless if it cant be made road legal. If its going to be used as a race car why spend all that money to go no quicker than a mk1 mx5 race car and if you wanted a light weight kit with a mx5 running gear well you have locost run a mx5 powered race series and then you have the race Exocet out there as well.

But hay at least its not another 7 clone.

I could see that working with manual pop-up lights. A bit like the LCC Rocket.

[Calmchap]

Silly question, but is there any way to put a body like that on a Caterham 7 or similar? Surely that would be easier than starting off with an MX5?

[LimSlip]

Looks lovely from a distance, but the nasty Mazda suspension sticking out of each corner rather spoils the illusion when you get closer.

I wasn't expecting to see an Alfa 158 GP clone when I clicked the link.........

Something like the front wheels on the Morgan 3-wheeler. Not ideal, but it could work.

With regards IVA testing ,I bought this car in an Auction in March this year and it had an IVA test finally undertaken in September - not sure if the long wait was due just to Covid. The car was registered in Qatar with full docs but I couldnt get a V5 until it had a IVA test - seems really over the top to me!
