The kitcar-mad vet, and all-round good bloke, Ed Morton, he of Pie Valley Buggies has just got his MGF-based Minx beach buggy through the IVA test and is now working on his next project, a similarly-based Nova.

Everyone loves the Richard Oakes-designed Volkswagen Beetle-based stalwart and like me Ed rates the MGF as a donor highly, while we also share the view that the Nova itself still has plenty of mileage left in it. Put the two together and he could have a winner on his hands!

Unsurprisingly, Ed is using a version of his Minx chassis and the MGF donor as a basis for a ‘new’ Nova although his very pleasing chassis can actually be used to pep-up any old Beetle-based kit.

He’s announced kit prices for the Nova package at £2400 inc VAT which brings the chassis, pedals and all brackets, although as mentioned this isn’t restricted to using under a Nova, any tired Beetle-based kit can be used. Crikey, an MGF-based Charger anyone?
