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'

Back to work at last
After a lengthy break, I got started again today. Last week, John and his family, and me and my family, had a holiday at Center Parcs. John will now be away for a while so I am on my own. Now that I have the gearchange sorted, I set about making the 'N' frame - this will bolt in position under the engine to stabilise the back frame that mounts the rear suspension. I got this done but further progress was frustrated as someone has borrowed the pillar drill. Hopefully I'll be able to make some more progress at the weekend.
