We will be able to provide a full mounting kit and instructions to convert any Vortx to this new body, future plans include a removable hardtop :-)

The body Will fit other makes also with modifications, we can provide to any wheelbase config however body width alterations would need to be done by the purchaser

No pictures fitted to car but sure some will appear later today ;-)

For now here are some of just the body work from the rear

Any prices.


femster87 - 29/10/13 at 09:57 AM

Do you have any information on pricing yet?

Looks like I was too slow

Full bodies are £2000. If you require a custom length/width this will be an extra cost and you must figure in that a modified body will require painting.

There is a light weight body available this week and also a heavier road version also ready to go. The body can be built in any combination of panel splits, ranging from 5 parts (nose, bonnet, tub and sills) to complete 1 piece body.

The lightweight race body weighs in at 28kg in total and isn't sillybthin and could be used everyday if you aren't sitting on iy. The stronger road body comes in at about 40kg but we can make it even stronger (and heavier) if required.

Whats the current wheelbase and track width


designer - 29/10/13 at 10:52 AM

Personally, I hate full bodies on '7' chassis.

So out of proportion.

But, each to his own.

I hate Trikes but I try and keep it to myself and not expand my views on a 'I'm selling a Trike Design' thread. But each to their own.....

Lol

Please don't let this now descend into silly thread, we are just trying to show you the new car and what the options are.

Looks very good Austen and with your success this year in RGB lets hope you & MNR do well out of it.

Thanks jeff

looks cracking - would be interested to see the dimensions at some point to see how much changes would be needed to fit to my Seven.

Good luck with the sales.

Cheers

Have you planned on where/how to mount lights for a road version, so they are in IVA acceptable locations? also is it available in coloured gelcoat?

Lights are pop ups so it will have to be an IVA temporary solution ;-)


MK9R - 29/10/13 at 12:04 PM

Oh yeah and you can have it any colour you want, just give us the RAL code. We may be able to do metallics at the start of next year!!


Andy B - 29/10/13 at 12:47 PM

Well I like it and I also know how much effort has gone into it so far - so a big thumbs up from us at ABP - a fresh look and good quality as well, nice one Austen.


DavidW - 29/10/13 at 01:20 PM

I'm looking foward to seeing more of this.

That race version is supremely light - almost 15 kgs lighter than mine - and that's supposedly race weight.

It looks great too.


DanG - 29/10/13 at 04:42 PM

I cant wait to see this complete. It does look good.

Big thumbs up to Marc and Austen.
