I have been craving a mini kit car for a while (something like a broadspeed gt etc) but could never really see anything, or certainly nothing in my price range!

Then I stumbled opon this on ABS motorsports site:

http://www.absmotors...e05791d3-detail

 

Has anyone got any more pictures or ever fitted one themselves?

Not sure I like that - the front of the roof is too high to carry it off in my opinion. I do like the versions where the roof is dropped a little and the front screen raked further back. Should I come into serious money I'd be hunting for or making a copy of a Buckle Monaco.

I would start a new topic rather than comment on someone else's which also happens to be completely unrelated to what you are looking for...

Hate to be the one that says it.. But fitting that would mean an IVA test....
Personally it would be the least of your worries as I think it looks bl**dy awful!

I have a feeling their site is down at the moment. I'll maybe drop them a mail and see if they can send me some more photos of the kit itself.

that kit wouldnt require an IVA provided that it remained mini engined, and otherwise largly unmodified.
