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'

Finally taken photos of the gear linkage. At the top right is the piece that slips over the input shaft on the gearbox. I now have to carefully make the vertical and horizontal pieces that will be mounted at the ‘front’ of the engine to hopefully give a smooth action. Hopefully I will get a fair bit done over the next few weeks as I should be able to get to the workshop in my lunch break for once - keep watching! P.S. Congrats to Lewis Hamilton!!!!
