Apologies for the big size of the pictures!! my first posts.
I believe that it's not as difficult as it seems in the drawings, eventhough it would take and investment of 20 to 30,000 pounds for the mould
work.
That is if you are interested in manufacturing the kit and creating a production. If you create a one-off it would cost certainly less
Unfortunately prices for this type of work is expensive, and maybe that is why very few kit manufacturers venture into new designs, but instead stay
close to the well known kits, or recreate classic kits that have a following and a potential market.
Maybe in a distant future things will change, but these renderings will remain, for the time being, on paper!
Thanks for the comments
cheers

Pat...
Makes me wonder if Jeremy Phillips just took a mould off the front of an elan for the Fury - the front is scarily similar, and the windscreen on a
Fury is definitely an S2 elan....

that dutton looks like a mallock k-sports or westfield xtr nose section to me and the artists impressions above look like a combo of db7/ puma at
front and smart coupe at rear..
i think i like them...

bit of tinkering with photo shop an he-presto
based around the jag f-type prototype over a cateringvan chassis
hinged front as triton suggested doors hinge at the windscreen and would be for show only chassis would be 'as book' underneath

I like the idea for a full body for my Indy. I think it would be a good idea if we could get a little database of different 7's and thir
dimentions as not all chassis are the same. This would make it easier for the 'kit manufacturer' to make the mountings for each make of
chassis.
What say you?

well you've got no chance with the 'f' type from Jag.
Dated a girl a few years ago who worked on designing the processes they use to build a car (what gets built when etc) and they didn't think they
could make it back then.
Got a friend coming round tonight who works for them and the main priority is making a profit at the moment - not sexy new cars with limited buyer
appeal like the f type (by buyer appeal i mean, only a few of us could afford it as apposed to would love to own it)

At the moment the body isn't wide enough for either a book Locost let alone the Indy, also it's got a 90"wheelbase......but these
are small spuds compared to starting from scratch

So Mr Triton Sir, does this mean you are going to design a new body for us??
If so can we submit design ideas?
Oooh this is very exciting!! ( it don't take much to get me going!! just ask the wife!!! )

Of course as Mr Deckman001 said in a previous post, there is always this which i'm sure will (with a bit of fettling) will fit the MK Chassis as
it'sMK who build the modified chassis for these cars.

I prefer the Nota Streamliner out of those pictures posted......the 11 for me is " been there done that" And the Nota is not that far off
the 581

So whats the plan stan? Are you able to modify the moulds so that the body of the 581 is the correct dimentions for Locosts, Mk's etc etc?
Will you be going ahead with it as i am interested.

OO yes and no mistake. I don't want to alter the moulds as they are almost 50yrs old or something daft like that so will make a body then modify
that to fit MK's Locosts etc then make a new set of moulds....the originals can then be put into storage.
Triton 581 has a nice ring to it and a name the diamond geeza i got the moulds from thought appropriate so the original name is retained in part
form.
