Monocraft MM1? Anyone know about this car?
(Sorry if this is the wrong place, I'm a newb so forgive me)
I have to be honest, I wasn't a Miata fan. Quite frankly I didn't hate the little car, I just never considered it. But then I saw the Gearz Banshee project and haven't been able to get the Miata out of my mind. In all my meanderings around the internet I came across old pictures (well at least several years ago) of a Japanese modification of the Miata. I know veterans have to have seen it. The Monocraft MM1 http://cdn.mkimg.carview.co.jp/carli...t=a1ae57726252 Is this a kit? Is it obtainable in the U.S.? Or was this something whose time has past. I've tried posting on Japanese websites asking about it, but haven't gotten any responses. The only thing I know is that apparently they were built by Monocraft of Japan. But apparently they're not building them anymore. Does anyone know anything more about these? I really like the front end on this car. (Please tell me if I need to post this question somewhere else.) Thanks Ed |
Thanks for the response.
Yes, I like the Italia, which is what they used building the Banshee. But to me the Monocraft design stays truer to the MX-5's lines. In a weird way the design looks more natural, if you can use that word to describe a machine. It just blends better. The Italia, and Simpson Designs other designs are more of complete conversion. I like it, but it's expensive, and a near miss IMHO. It looks like an amalgamation of an Opal Manta, with hints of C-3 Corvette, Ferrari, and Jaguar thrown in. I don't want to totally change the design of the Miata, just enhance it. https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...DbSAc2IdIjwZog http://jpx.responsejp.com/jpx/images...jpg?fit=normalhttp://cdn.mkimg.carview.co.jp/carli...t=0fdaa4d9f707 https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/i...U-cQKHgQqhB2gw https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/i...kzI8bEdxZKlenA |
