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'

Had a much more successful time today. Managed to cut and drill 2 sets of seat rails, the lower portion on the centre tunnel and cross member and the ‘verticals’ for the front and rear bulkheads. Doesn’t sound much when it is listed like that but it was a good 2 to 3 hours of solid work this afternoon. It is getting quite exciting now that the prospect of finishing all the metal cutting is looming nearer!
Time to get the welder out and join this lot together!
