This site describes the construction of a home built, mid-engined car. First conceived in 1999 and inspired by cars such as the NCF Blitz and Onyx Tomcat. I finally began work this year(2005) with a friend, who is an Aircraft Engineer. Why Mistrale? Well, the author of 'A Year in Provence', described the Mistral as a "brutal, exhausting wind that can blow the ears off a donkey" - appropriate for a car with no roof, sides or windscreen. An 'e' was added as others have already used 'Mistral'

More progress
It's been a busy week. While John removed the wiring loom/ECU, steering column etc. from the Fiesta, I continued to make the secone engine mount. I also had a busy e-bay week, securing an escort steering column and some track rod ends, and some Fiat Coupe back lights from a friend. Tonight, the fuel pump was removed from the donor - just the pedals and hydraulics to go. Here are the pictures of progress so far
