WIP 1948 Fintray Roadster

I have been working on an old roadster since friday.
It is inspired by the MG TD.
Name will be Fintray Roadster.

Powered by a 50bhp 1.25L i4 engine, it isn't very fast but it is quite nimble because of the low weight.

Parts are scratch made or sourced from the miramar.
Jbeam is scratch made, apart from the rear suspension which is a modified pigeon suspension.

Dont ask me for any release date. Progress will be slow since textures will be from scratch as well.
There wont be a folding softtop, I dont even know if I will include "all-weather protection"
EDIT: 30-4-2018, maybe I will, I have been thinking about it and I will try to do it, I don't know whether I will succeed
It will also be RHD only.

Cool. Nice to have another really old car In the game Seems a bit old for 1948 though

 

It is, looks-wise. The MG TD was looking a bit dated when it launched but was a succes nevertheless.

 

Yes, it´s like from 20´s

 

Not really. Late '30s at best.

Integrated wheelarches only became a thing in the late '40s/early '50s.

 

By the looks of the screenshot, you are doing a very nice job. Looking forward to see the final product. Take your time and enjoy your creation. We most likley will when it's available.

Keep it up.

 

People see mods this far complete and think they will go fast.
and because of that I know its still very incomplete.
Keep up the good work!

 

Nice progress so far, will there be a more powerful engine option? Or will it just have the 50bhp I4?

 

Yay, a British roadster!

 

It was designed to look older. Cashed off of old people remembring the good old days before the war.

 

I am really looking forward to this mod

 

cant wait
great work
bye

 

Will it come with a tray for fins?

 

a n g e r y

Just kidding, this is looking really good so far!
