Very nice looking car, I could not help but wonder how the doors stay shut, as there do not appear to be any handles or catches?

Hidden magnets? And what about the rain channels?

Nicely finished though.

Rain channels are pretty much redundant if you have no weather gear.

Weather gear in my Lotus Seven was a spare coat to put over my knees. Didn't get water slopping about on the floor though.

I agree about the rain channels! I enjoyed making mine though.
And the long-term plan is to make a roof eventually.

Since I posted last, I have studied the hinges on the front of the doors, and there looks to be some kind of locking system built in there somewhere.

Don't worry, I am about to post the results of my performance trials after fitting the new air filter. Add your mocking to my Video blog thread.
