Markham 450

Designer, Al Melling, formerly of TVR (now closed, apparently) is about to release a "back to basics" sports car called the Markham 450. It's a rear wheel drive, 2 seater convertible powered by a 5.7l Chev V8 on a steel space frame chassis. The aim is for the car to be "easy for owners to modify as they see fit". Autocar magazine claim the target price is 40,000 pounds and the car will be available at the end of this year.

Now why the f**k didn't Bolwell do this? Oh well I gues they went from the Nagari to a bloody go-kart (I know, I know - you like them)

They have already done that,"easy for owners to modify as they see fit". Called it a Mk7. LOL. Seriously though, I have thought the same thing myself. I suspect what they have done with the new Nagari is to showcase their companies ability with modern composites. In reality, its not that hard these days to knock up a spaceframe chassis and hang a pretty body on it.
