MX5 info wanted

Ex-Biker · #1 1st May 2007, 19:42

What kit cars have been / are currently being produced with an MX5 donor?

I know the Retrofonza, there is a Westfield (not sure of the model) and the CAR AMX07.

All help / knowledge welcomed.

Thank's in advance.

I've now found the Cyana MX500 - http://www.cyanacars.com/

and I believe the Westfield is called the 'Westfield SDV - Mazda'

Thanks Italo.

I am specifically looking for kits available in the UK.

I have to say, even though I am not really into Cobra's, the MX5 Cobra is so very wrong!

I agree with you on the cobra rebody, but they must have sold a few i'm sure......

I think only Retroforza has rebodies for the mx5, the others just use mx5 components, just like you pointed out with the Cyana and the Westfield.

I believe there is an untapped market for a nice mx5 rebody, and do like the Retroforza/Simpson designed rebody kit.

We just need a few more.....

Just thought about asking a few questions:

anybody interested on a new mx5 rebody conversion, should it be more of a retro or modern design ?

I need your feedback and ideas ....

Thanks guys......
