Cheltenham-based Equilibrium Kit Cars (EKC) was at Castle Combe last weekend with the Sonic 7. This was designed by Stuart ‘MEV’ Mills and Equlibrium purchased the rights to the former MEV model in 2015.

Run by Angus and Kate Weijers, the Sonic 7 is now back in production and I’m sure they’ll do nicely with the very attractive two-seater that offers a definite alternative to a Lotus Seven-inspired sportscar.

Prices have been announced and starter kits cost £2500, which gets you started with a spaceframe chassis and related components, while a standard body/chassis package costs £4500. Looking through the company’s pricelist it’s clear that EKC means business as it’s filled with quality items such as Wilwoood brake components.

Fully built Sonic 7 prices start from £15,000, which sounds like exceptional value for money. We’ll be bringing you more information on this one soon.
