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'

It's been hot!
Well, the weather over the last few days has prevented the inclination to get into the workshop, however, today was much cooler. As I have a week off work I managed not only to negotiate a morning off domestic duties, but also persuaded my better half to assist! Whilst she primed and sprayed the front wishbones (e bay purchases some months ago!) I set about making two new mounts for the new mini-struts. There purpose will become clearer later this week when I hope to get them onto the car! Here is a shot of todays progress - considerably more artistic than my usual efforts - guess who took it?!
