This is just a shame. Another Jag (well sort of) falls for this hill billy shame.
There should be a law against it.
It is a Rapport Forté Estate.

LOL yeah i know. But its got character .;)
Seriously though, it is not the nicest looking car. But it is basically a fibreglass mini, with even better aerodynamics. The homologation allows it a weight of 535 kgs, so that should make it a good competitor in its class in Historic racing. Another...
Very very very nice. Sorry to ask, but do you have a rough estimate of how much money you've put into this? I am only asking as i really would like to start on a mini based project.
Cheers, i really hope it works out too. The asking price is a little over 4000£. Hoping i can get it down a bit, as that is too much for a Mini Marcos in this condition. But it have been forsale for quite some time, so iam hoping.
Will run a 1275 as the Homologation requires it. The sunroof will be closed. I have a mate who is a glassfibre expert. He works with the wings for wind turbines, so iam sure he can sort it.
The holes for the rear lights will also be closed, and i would like to run Mini Van/Estate rear lights...
Hi guys
It is long time since i have been on here. One of the reasons is that i have been quite busy converting my 1970 Lotus Europa to a 5 speed gearbox, as the old 4 speed was shot.
Working on the Europa, has given me the urge to build a car more or less from the bottom. And for quite some...
Awesome, just awesome. Iam toying with the idea of building a car for the Danish hill climb series. Thinking about a Mini Marcos.
What kind of wheels are you running? Any pics?
Cheers guys, and yeah you can first really appreciate an Europa when you stand next to it. It is so rediculously low, only 1 meter high. That makes it a bit more dramatic in person.
Only mods going on now is fitting a leather covered centre console and door sides. Only need to do the passenger...
I don't know mate. It defenietly is a 1955 Chevy 2dr Hard Top. I googled the black top thing and it looks similar.
This one is being built for historic drag racing. It has a 8 litre or something V8 with eletronic injection and alot of other toys, and those huge intake stacks.
I think he said...
Yeah it doesn't hang about. It is way faster than the pinto powered seven i had before. And the VERY cramped interior makes it quite a scary experience.
Cheers guys, i know its looks are a bit of marmite. I actually quite like it. You can't call it pretty, i guess it got character at best. But these cars are all about the driving experience anyways.
Yeah it is real minilites, but only alloy ones, not magnesium. Tyres are R888's.
And it is a S2 with the the Renault engine. This had however been converted to a crossflow engine like the ones in the Alpine A110 1600S. Mine is bored up to 1750 ccm and with some other goodies.
The engine...
