<\/a>Latest addition to the MEV range is the ExoBlade, which technically isn\u2019t quite in kit production yet but it soon will be and we\u2019ll be road-testing when it’s ready.<\/p>\n
Although lots of MEVs have found their way onto circuits up and down the land, including a one-make race series, MEV-boss Stuart Mills has never really fully attacked that market directly himself. Until now. With the ExoBlade he\u2019s going to prove beyond doubt that he can design performance-orientated kitcars as well as just affordable fun ones\u2026just like he did when he ventured into the world of replicas with the Replicar\u2026<\/p>\n
ExoBlade will feature, unsurprisingly, a Honda Fireblade CBR1000 engine, which when coupled to an all-up weight of 400kg (give or take) and race-bred suspension, allied to prime aftermarket stuff like Tillett seats, is going to be a blistering performer and an eagerly awaited one.\u00a0 Oh and it\u2019ll have over 500bhp per tonne too\u2026.more on this one\u00a0as we get it<\/p>\n Talking of the Replicar, it is Mazda MX-5-based, a donor that Stuart likes a lot and is his take on a \u00a320m classic Aston Martin racer from the fifties that has really hit the spot for hundreds of people and not all of them what you\u2019d call true kitcar enthusiasts, either. Replicar kits cost from \u00a35994 inc VAT.<\/p>\n One of Stuart\u2019s most successful designs (actually two of my favourite MEVs \u2013 Mevster and Missile didn\u2019t really trouble the sales charts), certainly in volume terms, is the Exocet, which again is Mazda MX-5-based and really has been a big success, rivalling the original Rocket as best-selling MEV model.<\/p>\n It offers innovation, affordability and the promise of bloody good fun, all from cheap and humble donor parts. You can\u2019t beat that really. Exocet kits from \u00a33114 inc VAT.<\/p>\n I like Stuart \u2018Stiggy\u2019 Mills, he\u2019s a real character and a brave and talented designer who is never afraid to plough his own furrow. Indeed, some of his designs caused raised eyebrows when they first appeared but it\u2019s funny how others soon followed the same path\u2026Oh and we mustn\u2019t forget Stiggy\u2019s right hand lady, Jools, ace welder, ace sales person and key part of the MEV operation. She\u2019ll kill you with a put down too if you\u2019re not careful!<\/p>\n More information from www.mevltd.co.uk<\/a> or 01623 655 522 ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
