It is an amazing piece of kit, the only thing which puts me off is the seating height, shouldn't the driver be sitting almost on the ground? Maybe the drivetrain is in the way?

Hi Darren, I went through the old SVA test with my Eagle 2+. It failed on the first attempt but passed on the second; it was a nightmare. I do find the current IVA test quite bizarre and impractical as the testers know that as soon as you get the car home, you are going to swap everything out. Of course they need to check that the car is safe but some of the things that you have to do, just for the test, are stupid. Take a normal car. You could swap the steering wheel for some cheap and dangerous rubbish and there is nothing that the DVLA will do about that. On one of your videos, you mentioned that a catalytic converter needed to be added to the exhaust. I cannot remember the date of that video but you did not mention it in this video. As everyone else has said, it was a very useful and informative video; thank you. You have gone to great lengths to design such a wonderful car and, in addition, how to get it through the dreaded IVA test.

What a machine love it! Is it a RHD or LHD?

the only thing I don't love about this build is the fact it tries to fake how many cylinders it has. Why not just embrace what it is? Also wish I had known this kit was coming to the US. I hadnt even seen anything about it coming here. Is there an official dealer stateside?

Es Antonio del programa joyas sobre ruedas...

Any updates?

Leider wurde das Kit wieder teurer und bleibt somit für Otto-Normal nur ein Traum. Leider nur für Reiche erschwinglich. Tolles Fahrzeug, aber leider nur ein Traum

Good job 👍

It is an amazing video. Detail, depth, accuracy. An incredible effort to achieve concise and precise build information. As ex vehicle engineer was enthused immediately of ‘good ol days’. 1970 built Rochdale Olympic 2, however with sensible hat on wondered about homologation? Mud guards and todays ‘cotton wool’ world of health & safety. Thank you, for taking me back- may sales be your reward for a truly worthwhile project thought out and presented impeccably! LUV ANGRY RADIATOR GRILL!

We had a great day in Arizona. What a privilege to be included. This is an awesome race car project. Thanks Darren and Ant. 🏁

Wonderful car.

I would lose the weird AI "enhancement" on the voiceover in future. Sounds really creepy. I would much rather it was echoey instead of this weird warbly mess. At 2:46 it garbles the guy's voice so much I can't even understand what he's saying! Great car, though. Really really want one.

Brilliant; Please more videos on anything Tipo 184 🤞

Is there a similar fraternity developing here in the U.K.? I’ve loved this since the first time I saw it. Seen it in the flesh at last year’s Classic Car Show at the NEC in both the Red & the Baby Blue liveries. If there’s a newsletter or owner’s club or some other group that has developed would someone please kindly post a link? Thanks & keep up the great work!

Hello I think it looks good as a race car how much and I'm in Australia

If ever Darren considers developing another chassis, I think the idea choice would be the French Talbot-Lago Grand Prix car of the same era; the Alpha and the T-Lago had a long and storied rivalry, and it would be great to see them competing - in perhaps a gentler fashion - on tracks around the globe once again.

This is awesome guys! Can't wait to see these out in the wild 👏

Interesting. But and it's an Important 'But' !! This thing is a Sheep in Wolf's Clothing. A Poser Kar no more .. No less. FAR Better off to buy and Restore an MX5..... cheaper, easier and has room for a passenger as well as mod cons like rain protection and heat.

If you register your vehicle and then remove the bodges you used to make it considered safe your vehicle remains registered but is not safe. If you seriously injure someone they will lock you up. I would also question whether your insurance is valid as all modifications post registration should be listed on your insurance policy.

You cant drive a car on UK roads without mudguards

This contradicts the IVA information, it clearly says using lagging and solutions that would not be used by an OEM will not be accepted. The crazy use of these lagging bodges, bits of cut-off hose, push-on trims here won't get approved as far as I understand.

What a superbly engineered kit. I want one.

45:55 - SUPERB...!!!

I would like one with a straight six engine.

WHAT A BEAUTY WOW.

On another kit car IVA video I think they said you need a rear view mirror.

Excellent production

This is absolutely fascinating to watch

The bottom rear shock mount is in single shear! That seems like a bad idea

Holy cow I just watched the full build. I'm blown away. This is fantastic. Obviously the older miata parts have been seriously refurbished, making the end result a new car. It's just incredible . . . As the original straight 8 had a supercharger, it would be cool if you offered a supercharger kit too

I'm going to need at least a 15 gallon gas tank. I'd retain the lighting system so I could register and drive it.

no side repeaters for indicators?

forgot to say excellent video

would it not be better to use a front bumper as i understand it so any thing behind the bumper wont be tested ?

Nice !!!

Cracker Mate .. I wish I was 60 years younger ..🙃.

I came accross this video during a surfing session and am very glad I did... The first thing that grabbed me was the car of course (Gorgeous) and the second was that there was no "Please subscribe" I really don't like that, especially at the start of a video when you haven't seen the quality of it...I will never buy one of these kits unfortunately but watched the whole video to the end and loved to see the car being driven...Having said all that about subscribing, I have done so, because this video and hopefully more like it in the future are what You Tube should be about, not whiney people who demand you like and subscribe to their video, then it has firstly, terrible music and then bugger all content...Well done and a really beautiful car...

This is a shitty Miata, but never ever a Alfa Romeo!

Imagine being able to go back in time with this version of the Tipo 184….

inline 6, turbo and 4wd. maybe some new age rims and slicks

So you want to build a tubular chasis

Love it so much id love to see other types of cars too

just another example of the government sticking their noses into every little detail of our lives. they lack any kind of common sense.

I can see a 3d printed set of designs for some of the caps and protectors and under dash areas. Things like a padded knee roll would IMO be very sensible

Congratulations for this piece of art 👌

Where can you drive it?

How long will it be until we see a new racing class for these stars. These gentlemen have produced a real winner for a new class. Next someone will stick a Lotus engine in it and all will result in costs spiralling and it will be out of reach of the many, so insist on a class with either a maximum engine size or insist only MX5 engines only! Great video, and a pleasure to watch.

🎉🎉🎉🎉 gracias OK que bien como lo esplicas

Brilliant. Just need to persuade my wife......
