ideas forming again.
I've always loved the old open wheel F1 cars from the 1950's.
Ferrari, cooper climax, brm, that sort of thing.
Now I figure Locost principles would easily lend themselves to a build of this type of car. I like the idea of actually forming body pnels from ally
sheet and rivets (a more period look  )
A question- I seem to recall a curb weight thing with regard to SVA. Is there a lower weight limit that changes the way SVA regs are applied, or am I
just old and confused.
I've dug around the web but can't find what I'm looking for.
Anyone help, or direct me to a comprehensive site.
Thanks
John

Just for further ideas theres a guy in Kent Kit car club did a one off Maserati lookalike, made his own moulds so might be able to offer you panels,
the car has been in the Kitcar mags & appeared at the Detling show. Don't know his name but he's well known within the KKCC I'm
sure they could put you in contact.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Vanwall, actually and staggeringly over-priced

OUCH...
'tis a tad pricey.
"Powered by a 6.0 litre V12 engine and weighing less than a ton, the car is said to have truly breathtaking performance"
Less than a ton from a aluminium and carbon fibre single seater...I should bloody hope so, It must be a heavy engine
