would you buy a evante if it was produced again.
Discussion
o.k
I am looking at the market place for the evante Mk1 .
The car vegantune made to take over from the elan.
Would any of you guys hand over hard cash for one.
the evante was made in some numbers and a lot of elan run on the upgrade chassie ofth evante .
Question:what drive train:
vta would be a good engine as it has been in the past but to keep the cost down on some model a i am off the thort a zeeteck,
of the shelf from ford
would be a smooth unit or a durotec link to A FIVE SPEED OF SOME CHOSEN CHOSE .
COCK PIT .:A AGAIN I see two differing market lux seats or bucket for the track sport model .
Do you guy`s think there is a market for this car again ,
As you can tell i think there is a market more today than when it was original sold .

Hi guys
I was thinking of remaking them as i now own the rights .
It would be a cheap car, The costing is about 15k on the road basic model.
As with these things the dvla inspector may wish a few thing upgrades and that will need to be costed in but for 15K .I think it would be a good seller.
I like it!
I am looking at anew model as well but it will be more costly.
I would like get the original shape with some upgrade on sale .
The question is would you pay 15K for a two seater retro sport car.
thanks lads for replying sy

Hi guys
The elan was and is a real nice car.
Remember vegantune did the chassie upgrade for the elan .
The evante was biult to take the shape of the elan into the future .
Vegantune were restoring elan for many years and fitting upgraded chassie to the elan when there original chassie were beond repaire or the owner wanted a better chassie.
The evante was as good on the track as it was on the road in my opion.
The car was biuld for luxery and vegantune used all there race knowledge to help the car .
The car was before it time .If the car had only been on the market for a few more years it .It would have found the next generation.
Instead it fell to the side as do many good things.
A restored evante can be found for 5K to 10K ,10 being the price peaple would like .Some were between the 5K to 10K I think the market is for second hand cars. I think the cars are cheap to buy at the moment.I can only see original cars with original engine going up. you can pick up a real bargains £1500 for a car needing a new powerplant.
The thing with evante was when thay stopped making them the engines were still selling at high prices and engines were removed from second hand cars by guys that new the price of the engine unit.In most case the cars were refitted with crossflows and the next owner was not aware of the engine change as it was the car thay were after.
thanks again guys for feed back.

thanks for your time in responding guys.
SVA : i have spock to the correct office and they are ready to inspect a complete car for small manfacture certificate.
This will have to be done to the car for turn key cars.
Insurance :the evante is rated as a classic , I have spock to several insurance brockers and thay have adviced me a new car to very close consept of the original called by the SAME NAME BIULT BY THE SAME COMPANY WOULD ALSO BE CLASSED AS A CLASSIC FOR INSURANCE .
BODY SHELL: Tony tomson`s elan body is very nice. I am to belive these are in the 5k area.
I can compete very well to this price.
A kit car : This was suggested by my partner , We have even thort of contacting some kit car companys for advice and or joining forces so to speak. We are at this point very open minded.
Drive train :we are considering all area even jap engines, A new ford unit is about 1K , It is possible if we use a imported engine not ford based we can get the cost down quite a bit.
ALL FEED BACK IS WELCOME THANKS AGAIN GUYS

Hi sam
I have afriend that has just registed a caterham that he biult and it on a reduced cost policy threw one of the brokers i tryed .
I do not no how cars are classed but in my case the advice was it could have low cost insurance as it was all ready classed as a classic.Do not no if it because it would be a low volume car.
I have been adviced a new concept car would not get a reduced rate policy.
I have no idea how thay would rate a new consept car
Thanks to everyone for the feed back ,
I am still trying to confirm how made the original chassie for the evante.
It at the moment would seem i still own the rights to the evante and it`s chassie consept .This is somthing that would need to be cleard up .
Any way it will all come out in the wash i am shore , I am hoping to make contact with some of the original owners of vegantune and evante . I am shore thay will shed light on the how owns what and what rights evante have to the chassie.
real goood link thanks
Thanks to every one for the feedback .

Hi guys thanks for ALL feed back.
Hendry : I am dyslexic and some one that is new to using a computer .
I can read my writing and yours , It`s the spelling , well the letter just do not want to sit where thay should be . It`s a sort of secret code being that the car business has lot of espionage it could come in handy.
No problem with numeracy. So how many Evante`s would you like to pre-order?
Always look at the glass as being half full ,not half empty.
Spaximus : Thanks for tips on loading up enteries.
guys :I have been adviced vegantune web page is back up today.
Over the next couple of months the web page will be up date.

Hi guys
thanks for the input.
90v8 Hi Thanks for input : yes it is symon , You have me at a disadvantage .
If you wish to keep your i.d. hidden send me a email .or you could let me have a clue to your I.D. I hope you are well how ever you may be. .
Just been sent information there is a evante on ebay 120099355683 looks real nice.
CPN jack spanner : I looked for a solo by panther for some time , the only 1 i was offered had a bad fire in it engine bay . I did not by this car as the owner ship was disputed and there were no replacement panels at the time .
The solo was more like a ford RS200 in the way the drive train was developed.
I really liked that car . there are a couple every year at enfield pageant .
O.k. :How fare have i got not fare i must admit.
I have had confirmed there is some difference between the spyder chassis and the evante ,
I have also had confirmed spydercars developed the original chassis for evante .
then after the first batch evante manufactured there own chassis.
All bady parts can be made .
I think i am about a 3rd of the way to locating or upgrading the original development of the evante .
I am looking for a engine builder that would like to be linked to vegantune , You would need the time to further develop the engine`s that vegantune own . both for emissions and performance .Build engine for vegantune customer to a high standard.
I am in the proses of getting msa approval for vegantune engine . in different classes of motor sport. To further open up the market to vegantune .The emotions and engine development will have a big part in the evante and some of the early vegantune engines are being considered for the evante along with the 16valve vta or the original 8 valve option .If we manage to get all thing in the right place and production cost where we need them to be. We feel it would be a good thing the fit our own engine in the evante.
Well i really like the evante shape as it is .
I think it still has a place in the market place.
A fixed roof would be a advantage in today's market place .
Evan the coupe model may have a place in today's market.
Thanks again guys for the input / feed back.

Hi jack
O.k a update for all you guys .
The moulds for the engine heads have been found along with the moulds for the rear uprights ,
yes : i have been driveing all over spalding contacting ,speaking to enginer from the early days of vegantune .
What history thay hold,If only it could all be wrighten down for future generatuion
What skills these guys hold.
I have found out that it will be possible to make a new chassie and the new rolling chassie will be able to have some updates to the front end .
which we will be able to be pass on to the early cars to upgrade the front ends.
How little that 15K sounds .
A zetec will help bring cost down . Then upgrade models quicker engines , or vegantune, FVA ,VTA .
Thanks to every one for all your time today ,You have all been a real help.

Hi Jack .
I can only explain the front up grades as going away from the triumph and replacing it with a hand made unit . It would look more like a atom unit . A upgrade to the steering rack. looking at changing drive shafts. the gear stick will be moving forward . It has been suggested to mount the diff slightly different. We are looking at the cost this weekend of the parts we can get. Then we will be checking the body bucks and trying to find the coupe body buck .I am also going to look if it would be possible to get a fitted roof .I would like to make them slightly different to the early cars .I would like the early car to become more sort after and move the value up . There for lifting the value of the new cars.
John sissy is prepared to reverse engineer the vegantune fva head for me if we can not find original moulds.
thanks again to every one i have met over the last few days all you help is really good.
