Hi - The build is still shaping & the image is just so you get an idea. As you guessed the grill was "grabbed" from a photo of a BMW & will not be the one on the build.

Great update

How about Zeero

Zee as in Z4 and zero as in Z1 as it has a passing resemblance to the old Z1.

Keep the updates coming.

Dock Green.  A name?   How about “Dave”?    :-)


I thought of “West Coast”.  For me to have inspiration twice is too much.
Not all problems can be solved with gaffer tape.  For those there is WD40.
Not even gaffer tape can fix stupid, but it can mask the sound.

If you can’t buy it or steal it you have to make it.

As it's a new era for DNA I think the car should be call ( Imogen ) after his daughter well that's my opinion anyway can't wait to see it in the flesh.
Drive it like you stole it

If it’s what I think it is, I think “Dumbo”. would be a good name, and he could fly.

With the position of the door opening it looks like a gullwing, so I’ve googled “gull”.   There’s ever such a lot of German and Latin words for gull and wings ( I’ve always wondered where the Red Bull flugel name comes from, now I know). Most of course are unpronounceable by me, so I’ve still got no read suggestions.

Hi Mick I saw a BMW Z1 not long ago and the doors go downwards under the big door seal and you just step in so the door my open downwards you can't really tell by the picture anyway it still looks good.

So...... work was put on hold to allow Brian to finish the Speedster, but that is now done & work is progressing in earnest. The car should go for the 1st jelly moulds in the next couple of weeks. The car will be available to purchase in kit form & Brian thinks it will be a simple build. A couple of teaser photos below.

Tom.  In previous teasers triple headlights were talked about ( like an Alpha).  Did you go for two or three in the end.

We've gone with twins - but the car does look like it will rip your head off given a chance.

Reviving an old thread as it has peaked my interest...

Can we see any more progress please?
