Not saying anything at all :biggrin:

We are keeping everything about this model under wraps until it's completly ready to be launched.

We hope you all will love it when launch day arrives as it will be a very very beautiful car!

Ok, I'm confused. I just checked the link and see that first there was the Pilot and then there was the Navigator. The pictures of the Navigator are photoshopped to fit the extra width of a Miata. I know because I paid Chris at Tribute to do those pictures for me. No one has asked me to use them. Are you aware that those pictures are Miata based?

Hi JMC.

I haven't a clue what a miata is. As there isn't a finished one yet the images of the cordite were from Google so no I had no idea!

No problem Andy. I figured as much. Am sending you a PM.

JPR Wildcat

Looks like a Jaguar E-Type. How about the old JPR Wildcat moulds....

I am guessing re-jigged for a Scimitar Chassis. The Jag is about 4" longer in the wheel base than the Scimitar

Thats what I had in mind for a sideline......

or like...

Is it a perspex screen? VW chassis? I would like to see it at the correct height. I like the way the back opens up, would like to see more detailed shots if poss.
Looks nicely made.

Hi Gary, The chassis is unmodified Beetle T1 (Ours is a 1967) and the current screen is the rear screen from a VW Karmann Ghia but we will be offering a templated Perspex screen for those who want to go that way and possibly cut the height down. As it is, the eye line is well over the current one. We'll be posting many more photos once the car comes back from the paint shop (We are keeping this one Black though). Access to both front and back of the car is excellent which makes for easy maintenance and the engine compartment is spacious enough for any of the usual VW Engine conversions (Subaru / Porsche etc). It's a really nice car to work on and we've gone to great lengths to make sure the production quality will be good too.
