Jon W. Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Not a 7. It's RCR's Atom knockoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnttim Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I would have to say, "No". Since the engine is in the back it pulls too far away from the original Idea of a Seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersportsp Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 More like a poor man's Ariel Atom. I saw this today myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Rohaley Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 The 3 cars that this MevLtd. company builds are all rear engine too but the look leans on a sevenesque style too(at least the Sonic 7). I guess the difference is whether or not you are evaluating it as only a casual observer or from a more in-depth perspective such as us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian7 Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 How about this one? http://www.mevltd.co.uk/gallerysonic.html from some angles, that Sonic7 looks like it should drive down the beach and slide into the water amphibiously ... fine line, this personal taste stuff; hate this Sonic7, but keen on that Australian Elfin from a few weeks back.

MHKflyer52 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 ok, agreed. how about this then............... http://twintechcars.com/ Jack McCornack originally had built a Locost 7 (2005 time frame I think) using a V-twin so I guess you can say it is a LSIS car. I actually like the way they made the rear suspension. I also feel that it is sort of a combination of the Locost and an Atom from the looks of the frame. Still like the original design better for a 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those wood car plans they did a piece on. Very nice. Looks like CrisCraft though about a car. tnttim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanG Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 ok, agreed. how about this then............... http://twintechcars.com/ Now that's interesting. It's a shame they chose a HD engine with seemingly better V twin engines available. A S&S or even cooler a Guzzi. Is it an automatic or just an ugly sequential shifter?
