I found this the other day, an alternative to a ginetta g40 I guess. Interesting it is mid engined using a scooby flat four and gearbox, so easy 300hp. Be interesting to see what would be needed to get it through an iva? Nice looking car, I think I would delete the roof vent though.

Funnily enough I was looking at this the other day.

I recon front and rear lights would need attention, but easy enough to do.

Glass would need E mark.

Other than that I can't see IVA being an issue.

My initial thoughts were the light heights which could be adjusted to a certain extent in the build and fudged a little by suspension height when presented.
The side repeaters could be fitted to the wing mirrors.
Having put a Lotus 7 replica through and accompanied severel others the Factory five looks a breeze.

Like these a lot... More mid-engine coupes in the UK please!

A few years ago there was a mid-engined Subaru powered kit proposed in UK. Called Imola. What happened to that?
