Mev Rocket

[Juicie]

I believe one of the cheapest Exo Skeleton cars! Very similar to the Zonta :)

I wonder If we should call it the Rocket or the Zonta? For disscussion sake?

[Juicie]

I think Mev is the original manufacturer of the car. Zonta just uses a modified mev chassis with a 700 CC Smart engine. I would prefer to give the credits to Mev for designing this chassis.

There's a short review of the MEV range in the same issue of Complete Kit Car (UK publication) which reviews the V Storm. The short review of the MEV range announces the 'All new MEV R2', not sure if it's instead of the Rocket or as well as. It uses a square section chassis and has bodywork stating 'the curved chassis rails on the Rocket are expensive to achieve'. In the words of L'Oreal, 'Because you're worth it'!

Juice is right.

the Zonta uses Stuart Mills rocket Chassis but is modified for the smart car engine. the buyer decided to call it a zonta

I love your car :) does it fit a Focus ST Engine, the 5 cilinder?

[mevrocket]

an american has bought a kit and is doing exactly that.. im not sure if he has the 170 or 220 engine...

and im thinking about it for my next project

the picture poste are not the finished car ... i havent got the engine cover on or the tiny wind deflector yet.. i just took those when i was testing it on a nice sunny day..

i also have the wheel arches to swap sides now the SVA is pased which pushes them further over the back of the wheels...

glad you like it ....me too. i havnt stopped grinning since friday.
