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'

Bulkhead
Today I welded the bulkhead into position - not an easy task as the space was confined and it involved rotating the chassis multiple times! However, by the end I was very pleased with the results and the lack of distortion! The picture here shows the view from the front of the car looking backwards. You can also see the newly strengthened seatbel
t mounts at the bottom of the picture!
