Right .... when GNU is up and running in a few days ( fingers crossed ) HNO3GOH and I are building a couple of these -- after we have cleared the garage(s) of bits of Omega ( I reckon there must be two or three cars worth of bits and panels in there!!!)  :



HNO3's, I think, is going to be standard SVA option (road legal, but just --- I have a feeling it's going to be thrown around a few RUPPs locally    ) . Mine will be delux SVA option (bit posher, as I am intending to use it as everyday runaround). Maybe have to install a hook for the cardie

Hi Count
That looks good, what's it based on, and what engine etc.
And do you buy it as a kit.

Thanks

Mike

Yes... Tell us more... I'm interested!!

Hey Mike,
Yes, it is a kit. This one is based on the good old mini. Choice of the A series 850, 1098, or 1275. Will probably go for the 1098cc.

The company ( local to me) are also working on a K series based kit (metro) and a bike engine based kit.

It's amazing where these little beasties will go -- even giving 4x4's a good run for their money on the RUPPs.  And, with the mini engine at the back it's RWD

Hmmm... I wonder if SWMBO will let me turn her (very poorly) 1993 Cooper into one of these instead of putting it back on the road as one of the few remaining BMW Free Coopers? :-/ :-/ :-/

The engine would be awesome... 1280 (bored and rebuilt) cooper single point injection which is amazingly torquey!!!

Does it come with a catch tray for the oil leaks.....

I rather hate the A series!

But it is only marginally worse than the K-Series!!!

You don't need to catch the oil -- just wipe it on the grass

I personally love the factory fit spade carrier on ths side!

Now, that`s what a I call a tool kit!

  Oh-my`, how many times in life I might`ve needed such a conveniently situated spade to dig myself out of the mire!

[albitz]

adapting one of those to take something like a zzr1100 engine would be fun.

This will be the mire I am sure we are going to get ourselves into --- but it will be fun.

They are developing a Yamaha YZF-R1 powered kit -- with a little fiddling the options are limitless

Well when i get the first one up and running i will have to see if i can get that single point LPG kit that i have in the garage on it. Might have to put the tank on the top

Have to be careful on an incline -- would topple !!!!  Still think an inverted propane canister would suit ---- Not COP11 standard tho !!!!
