Anyone help with a car ID (memory fail) :(

[pauluspaolo]

I'm quite a fan of British glassfibre sportscars (Ginetta, TVR etc) & I've been wracking my brains, & the internet, trying to find/remember the name of a car. I'm not sure if it's even made anymore, as many of these small manufacturers seem to end up folding, but I remember it being similar in layout to the Ginetta G40 i.e. a small, neatly styled 2 seater coupe with front engine & rear wheel drive, think the engine was Mazda MX5. The manufacturer had a website & I remember there being a video (or videos) on Youtube featuring a black one with a bright orange chassis/rollcage being a prominent feature of the interior.

Does this ring any bells with anyone?

MEV?

The MEV range is excellent and Stuart Mills is a very nice man. The Replicar which is the one in the photos above really is an exceptionally good looking car. Have a look. Good luck with the search.

It was/is indeed the Zolfe. Many many thanks as not being able to remember the name was driving (ha ha) me up the wall. Shame the website's not been updated - looks like I'll have to turn to Ginetta (who are, at least, local to me) if/when my lottery win comes through ... thanks again

No worries - my head is full of useless stuff like this so great that ever so slightly occasionally it benefits somebody
