Ooh, I like that!

Some years ago I started a design for a spaceframe Minor lookalike. It had double wishbone suspension all round (although the front wishbones were a bit short for ideal setup) and a Hewland transaxle in the back for weight distribution.The roof was chopped like that one and the entire front and rear sections were Carbon fibre, as were the door shells. If I remember correctly it used 18" wheels all round. The best bit was the Hennessey tuned 8.4 litre V10 Dodge engine  :twisted: ..... all 800bhp of it  :shock:

I got as far as the draft design drawings. Weight distribution, suspension layout, initial spring and damper ratings..... and then I sat down and started the costings! When I got to £40k I decided to stop  :shock:  :lol:

But if only........
