A sneak peek at the all new MST Mk1 as it navigates its way around the famous Donington Park circuit in it's first real test ahead of it its launch later this year. Brought to you by us, Motamec and MST Cars

Following the successful road test last week, next test was some track testing at Donington race circuit were we could really put the car through its paces. Again the car ran faultlessly and was keeping up with some very fast track cars. We are very please with how the car handles both on the road and on the track.

So we finally got the new MST Mk1 out of the factory for its first road test and we are very pleased to say that the car ran really well, very responsive and the all steel 2.0L BDG engine is very lively. A big milestone in the journey of bringing the Mk1 back on the road as a new car, the first since 1975. Next will be the final preparations for the IVA test in September and we hope to be able to officially launch the Mk1 in October on a 71 plate.

So last week we had Mike Duff from Autocar magazine test driving the all new MST Mk2 on some classic North Wales roads. Along with his photographer they had some great action and tracking shots as seen below. I think its fair to say that Mike was very impressed with the Mk2. Follow the link below for the full feature:

Here we have a quick update on the MST Mk1 build, all coming together nicely, the new BDG engine is in, gearbox, axle, suspension etc. Further development work has been done on the trim and seats and is ready for final fitting. Just need to complete the interior and the wiring and we should be good to go.
