We have developed our own version of what could be compared to a De-Dion arrangement with in board shocks on bell cranks. The curved twin beam pivots on a 6 link system with centre pivot tie rods. This ensures that both wheels remain perpendicular to the surface regardless of body roll. I was delighted with it when testing, the MEV beam ensures camber does not alter as it squats under take off. Oodles of traction from perfectly placed tyres.

I'm intrigued by the rear suspension setup! I can't work out how your system works! (Not a mechanic ) Can you post a close up of the rear please?

search Mr Trépardoux. That should explain, the rear curved tube pair are essentially a De-Dion tube, 2 radius arms each side and Watts linkage across the back. Push rods to inboard shocks/springs.

This car will remain a one off, it will not be repeated. If you are interested speak now or forever hold it tight.
Well under priced at £8k but we are happy with that, its been fun developing it but now I have other projects awaiting my attention.
