First of all would like to apologize for my lack of photoshop ability, and second I'm pretty sure some people will think this is a mad/crap idea, but although this is not right yet, I feel I have something




I'm ready to be attacked, this is just a red wine induced idea!

Someone was already working on something similar... it is possible that he disappeared from these shores only to appear trussed up in Union Jack boxers in a desert just south of Kandahar by the Taliban...

Are you thinking of Clive and the Zertec hatchback? I thought that was for the Griff though?

Something along the lines of a Le Mans style hard top incorporating the boot area, like the Sprites and Cobras, maybe intersting?

Thanks for your thoughts, I intend to do a feasibility study into make this a permeant installation with a glass/plex rear hatch, and if its possible then its my winter project, I have a friend who builds fibre glass boats, so thats a start.

Steve Edwards is making a prototype hardtop back section for the Chim (see TVRCC - Chimaera section).

It is a direct replacement for the folding section so keeps the shape and goes in the boot.
