D&O - that is pretty close to what I am going for but mine may have the A352 front end. What donor are you planning? I am thinking BMW Z3 for a more modern car and I need an auto.

Im quite a fan of old mechanics and that, i'd probably go herald or spitfire donor with a meaty engine and leave it at that!

Don't blame you. I have a 1969 Scimitar SE5 on the drive part way through becoming a G46 which I have had to sell since snapping my foot off.

The BMW is a marriage of convenience. Reliable automatics where the gear shift wasn't total slush went that common 20+ years ago. I want something that is a little bit fun to drive, even with just two pedals.

I'm working on aquiring a suitable (and period) chassis as we speak, but would want a few (very minor) mods to the body - return edges etc. Will keep you posted

Default New developments on the Mistral Project front.....
Looking back over this tread at the little red TVR Jomar (which uses 2 Mistral front ends) I was wondering how much work it would be to recreate the "one-off" car....





...when I found this on Ebay. I love Ebay





5 weeks until the Exeter Kit Car Show, need to start this in about 3 weeks time then!

It's a TVR GRANTURA MKIV body shell. If you compare the door shape, bulkhead, lower front wing and front lower part rear arch with the "Jomar" car you will see that they are exactly the same.

Here are some interesting TVR/Jomar history links:

http://www.jomar-cars.com

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TVR

http://www.tvrblog.com/jomar-the-third-tvr


My idea is to "recreate" this car:




using the TVR shell and the Mistral front mould that we have. I have the doors and wheels already, just a few bits of trim to collect...

Are you using a TVR chassis too?
