The Long and the Short of it
Recently we had the pleasure of meeting a charming gentleman who wished to hire one of our kit cars. At 6 foot 4 inches he was worried he would not fit into our cars especially as our record was 6 foot 2 inches as both our kit cars are fitted with adjustable seats.
However not to be put off by the challenge we were prepared to give it a try and if we did not succeed we agreed to either provide a full refund or offer an alternative car.
On the day, despite our best efforts we found our client would not fit comfortably. So to overcome this difficulty we agreed to remove the drivers seat to provide more legroom and installed a cushion. Obviously safety was paramount and with the four point harness holding the driver firmly in place we were all happy to allow the car to be taken for a test run.
Our client was so happy and comfortable he agreed to take the car for the whole weekend and had a wonderful time. So much so he is now looking to buy one of his very own.
We just want to say a special thank you to this person for his patience and understanding and for proving that although size matters with a little ingenuity we can all achieve something when we put our mind to it. A true gentleman.

We have just held our official Launch day and here are some pictures of our cars in action!
Thankfully the weather held out and everybody enjoyed the pleasure of open top driving.
Some people learnt how to use 4 point harness for the first time and how to take off and put on soft tops. Between us all and after many years of experiencing the joys of flat packed furniture everyone had a great time!
Congratulations
To our first Competition Winner: Mr Alex Jelfs.
Sadly though he is still only 24 years of age and is eagerly waiting for his 25th so that he meets the insurance requirements. Only four more weeks to go and Alex will be going out in our Tiger.

Mazda and Maclaren a match made in heaven???
For my Christmas treat I had my Mazda RX7 interior re-trimmed and the company who did it used the remnants of material leftover from the Maclaren F1. How cool is that!
