The Mistrale Build Site

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'

First Start

The new fuel regulator arrived in the post yesterday. Fitted today....Result!!! The engine ran a little rough at first until I noticed that my temporary bung had fallen out of the servo pipe - a thumb over that and the engine ran as sweet as a nut!!!
