This all-colour practical book provides a step-by-step, extensively illustrated guide to building an affordable single-seater car for road and track use. The design is loosely based on Formula One cars of the mid-1960s, powered by a motorcycle engine via a chain-driven differential.

The down-to-earth text shows how to build the chassis, suspension components and glassfibre bodywork, and advises on how to modify and use a range of motorcycle engines. The end product is a budgetpriced, high-performance, road-legal single-seater, ideally suited to track-day use – and a learning experience in performance-car engineering and design.

• Three-dimensional, scaled, colour working drawings, detailed descriptions, and photographs.
• Step-by-step instructions on building a strong tubular-steel chassis.
• How to source the power unit, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes and other parts from donor vehicles.
• Details of how to manufacture GRP body panels.
• Fully illustrated assembly instructions.
• Advice on how to put the finished car on the road successfully, including details of SVA test requirements, and a checklist of common SVA failure points.
