Carcraft Cyclone Info

Anyone know where Carcraft are based? I have seen a pic of their Cyclone here

Project was sold on and apparently moulds or jigs or both have been destroyed.

You see a few cars for sale though.

Cheers Ferg, I suspected that was the case

It was indeed destroyed, from what I heard it had ended up in Manchester with the intention of restarting prduction, but the people involved fell out to such a degree that one of them chopped it to pieces! Shame.

Bit of an ugly duckling IMO
although supposed to be well engineered and go like stink

Thanks for the extra info D-Angle - in some ways it looks very similar to the RJH Mirach
www.rjhsportscars.co.uk

and is obviously inspired by the ubiquitous Seven.
I had a few laps in the Mirach at Donnington this weekend and it was suprisingly quick despite only having about 150bhp (early Ford 2.8 I think) Handled like a dream though and would go like stink with a big V8 in there

I am seriously considering getting one now as a budget car - the kit is only £4k. With a little bit more updating it will look like a 21st century Seven

I own one of the Cyclones...

Use it as my everyday car infact, goes like the proverbial with a 2.0l XE engine from a Mk2 Astra GTE!!

Feels different from a '7', at least the ones that I have driven, probably as there seems to be more car around you. The hard top is a good system, the only issue being geetting enough air in the car when its warm and raining and you've got the roof(s) on. Though I think I've thought of a way round that.

As far as I know, yes the moulds and jigs were destroyed, but they do come up for sale every now and then, infact mine might as I think I'm going to have to get a company car and I can't keep 2 cars :-(

Anything else you want to know, apart from if your a totally mad bu%%er you can but the 2.0l turbo from a Calibra in it...
