Hi, my name is Smudger and I own a Chris Hollier Mosquito. It is a Mini based kit car but with the A Series Engine in the back (mid mounted). It use's the Mini front subframes at front & rear. Coilovers all round.

Just thought I would say hello!

Hi Smudger

Welcome to LCB!

Interesting car you have, did you build it yourself?

Thats funky

Chris Hollier made 10 kits in total. Mine was built by Chris himself who also did some "Gull Wing" doors as well. When I took that pic the doors where away at Plastics4Performance who cut out some perspex for me. Lucky they did it as the two doors are different shapes! The car is now 12 years old (?) with no sign of rust at all (rare for a Mini LOL). It has always been Kawaski Green but I just had it painted a more up-to-date colour. I have lots of ?'s to ask, most to do about the suspension and aero dynamics as well.

Prime for a bike engine.
