The ABS Freestyle was originally produced as an off road Mini based kit car. Due to popular demand the Freestyle has now been submitted for the SVA (Single Vehicle Approval) test and has passed successfully allowing it to be used on the public highway as a road legal vehicle. An extensive set of accessories is available for SVA purposes.

The Freestyle was developed with 3 main aims:

• An inexpensive kit car that any DIY enthusiast can put together
• A vehicle that will tackle the roughest of terrain yet still be useable for everyday use
• To be as individual as the owner but still capable of passing the current SVA test.

A build manual is supplied with the kit, and it is one of the easiest kit cars on the market to build. You will not need vast mechanical knowledge to assemble it. Many parents encourage their older children to help them in the building of their kit car and when completed share in the enjoyment of driving them off road.

If it is not practical to have a donor car for any reason then all parts new and reclaimed can be obtained at very reasonable prices through ourselves.

Although the Freestyle was designed to use a Mini as the donor, it is also possible to use a Metro instead of a Mini. See FAQs for more technical information.

Even though the kit is easy to build, not everyone wants to or is able to build the cars for various reasons. This does not have to be a problem, if necessary we can build it for you. Contact us for more information and costs.

The chassis is a fully welded, pre-drilled, steel chassis with plasma cut bulkheads and pedal box area with integral roll cage and inboard suspension. The Mini’s complete front subframe housing the suspension, brakes, engine and gearbox in one unit bolts onto the rear of the Freestyle chassis with modifications carried out to allow operation of a handbrake. For on road use, either Mini or Metro disks are recommended for use on the front

With the completed kit weighing only 460 kilos and the SVA built cars weighing over 520 kilo’s, fitting of a 1275cc Mini engine can give a power to weight ratio greater than most hot hatches on the road.

It is achivable to built this kit car and SVA with a £2000 budget.
