More food for thought.
He was using a deon chassis as you have correctly stated with the baulk head or back bone of the deon chassis literally cut off!! The deon space frame chassis had been designed like that from the start, even when called the jhc so I wonder what effect cutting the back bone off had to torsional strength? Also the jhc/deon chassis had high cills to cope with side impact protection and I noticed looking at cr's chassis these had also but cut down lessoning the chassis's strenght even further. As for £14000 that seems cheap, at the time when deon were trading, deon were quoting somewhere in the region of £18-20000 for a complete kit.
