Big fan of Welsh manufacturer, MST Cars, who have just added a third model to their range which already features Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escort-inspired cars available in kit and fully built form.

They’ve recently unveiled their take on the Escort Mk2 RS2000, called the MST EVO-X, with the ‘X’ referring to Ford Motorsport’s Widebody X-Pack option available for the RS2000, in period.

Just like MST’s other models, the EVO-X looks exquisite., particularly with that ‘droopsnoot’ front end.

Two normally-aspirated four-cylinder engines are available with the Duratec 2.5-litre standard complete with 275bhp. The range-topper is a Millington Diamond engine, which delivers 350bhp.

Great to see the launch of the new Solus Motorsport MR2 Sinner (it made its debut at Newark Kit Car Festival in September). Derived from the Blackwell SPR2, Solus boss, Mark Gray has been working hard modifying the project.

Each tool is 145mm long and made from sturdy stainless steel. The handles are super comfy, thanks to the More >

Ginetta has launched the production version of the brand’s new 600bhp, V8, road-going Akula supercar, based on the concept car of the same name revealed in 2019.

The Akula is unlike any other car produced by Ginetta in the company’s 66-year history. Priced from £275,000 (plus taxes and shipping), the Akula marks the 20th anniversary of Dr Lawrence Tomlinson’s acquisition of Ginetta and will be exclusively limited to just 20 production models.

Entrepreneur Tomlinson, who won the GT2 class at Le Mans in 2006, has been fully involved with Ginetta’s development team at every stage of the genesis of the mid-engined rear-drive Akula More >

Many clearcoats have a tendency to become opaque or ‘yellow’ over time, especially the high-gloss types. The coating experts at ZyCoat say their ZyClear Clear Coat is the first gloss clearcoat that won’t go yellow on you, even when applied to parts that see high temperatures.

ZyClear can be sprayed or wiped on directly to steel, stainless steel, and other metals. It will protect aluminium from oxidation and anodised surfaces from UV discolouration and can be used as a topcoat for painted, chromed, polished and powdercoated parts.

ZyClear also makes a dandy topcoat for parts like headers, turbos, manifolds, exhaust systems and intercoolers More >
