Just loved everything about that little street buggy the first time I saw it,,, as you know Dave!. Its good to see a new direction with the street look and the lack of chrome and side pods really does it for me. NICE color scheme too,,, who wants bloody chrome anyway?

I like the clean minimalist look also! And the ?exoskeleton? (light weight?) tube ladder frame, kind of Porsche RSKish. And how well the rear tires fit the fenders in its lowered stance, Oh, and the clean way the full roll-cage is dual function as the windshield mount, yet blends well with the dash. It looks very well thought out, modern, purposeful, with classic lines. Any idea where those headlights were sourced?

I always assumed the chassis was one of Dave Barrett's... http://www.manxchassis.com/Home_Page.php Not sure about the body, if it's a genuine Manx or an exact clone but this car's really got it going on.
