Much more.<\/p>\n<p>Martin is a skilled sheet metalworker and his car features glorious-looking aluminium body panels, which I have to say looked stunning. Martin\u2019s background includes spells at Abbey Panels, Martin Robey and XK Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>The kit is priced extremely competitively at \u00a35500 for body and TIG-welded spaceframe chassis unit and the car uses Ford Mondeo Mk3 (2000-2007) donor components. Order one today and within a couple of months you\u2019ll be picking up your hand-crafted Lotus Seven-inspired body. Martin reckons that a DIY self-build figure of \u00a39000 should see a Bathos MB Roadster built.<\/p>\n<p>Visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bathoscars.simpl.com\">www.bathocars.simpl.com\u00a0<\/a>or 07854 360 633 <strong>ENDS.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>I was very impressed with the show debut of Bathos Sportscars run by Martin Batho.
