I believe that the Herald wheelbase is approx. 91ins. In view of the fact that these cars are getting harder to find has a more modern option every been considered? I'm looking to start a project in the new year and I have been considering 3 options. The Miglia being one of them.
From my research I have been drawn to the MX5. Many available good donors at reasonable money. Wheelbase just over 89ins. Is this a possible option to consider. Good engine, gearbox and handling. Body can be totally removed leaving a rolling frame. If a space frame was designed to go around it and the body can go onto this. No IVA, as this will be classed as a re body, on current regulations. This could be a pretty interesting machine.
Your comments, suggestions, opinions on this will be appreciated.
