Sneak preview of my mate's MEV Rocket; its off for final wire and IVA prep; should be completed and on the road by the end of the month now.

2.0 Duratec with TBs
Carbon Seats, bonnet, tunnel, cycle wings, side panels (might give a clue as to his business)
Revised roll hoops and suspension arms plus tweeks to the main chassis so its not a standard Rocket by any means
TD Pro Race 1s
blah, blah, blah

it's where he lives now, used to run out of the ground floor but then moved up to Park hall industrial estate. Didn't you go down there once

Looks very cool.



I would be a bit worried about that hole in front from a IVA test point of view.

In theory in a crash head on with a person, they could get a limb caught in that gap and maybe get trapped due to that.

its for his Missus' business so it'll have a teak deck, the interior has all been retrimmed and off white/cream and brown paint job.

Nothing too drastic but just a clean and tidy workhorse
