This is your chance to own a SVA'd Road Legal High Performance MEV Rocket
Kit Car.
Currently there are only about 10 of these cars on the road in the world!
It has taken me 12 months to complete the build of the car with the SVA test
being completed in February 2009.
Since then have driven it about 1800 adrenalin filled miles, but the time has
come to sell it so that I can start yet another car project.
I will be sort of sad to see it go, but thats what I do, enjoy the build, use
it for a while, sell it and start the next project.
When the car was made, I used the required components to get an age related
number plate, but most of the components were purchased new, rather than use
the donors parts.
These have been listed below.

When it came to choosing the Donor Car I opted for an X Focus with a 1.6 Zetec
engine, this had the advantage of being an alloy block,
so nice and light and great for corners, as soon as you take a step to the
heavier 1.8 then its cast steel a bit more powerful but not so good around
the bends.
I will say that the car would benefit from professional laser wheel alignment and suspension setup, this is somthing that I just havent had time to do.
This was the car that was featured in Complete Kit Car Magazine in June 2009
