Title: Heron kit car. Post by: CyCo on Monday, 07 June, 2010, 12:36:46 PM Ok, not a Eureka, but it's another kitcar, one I've hardly heard about here in Oz.
The Heron MJ1 (http://heroncars.co.nz/template.php?p=content_cars_NearyCraig) (http://fenz.net/host.fenz.net/images/heron/cars/mj1-painter.jpg) Has a bit of the Lotus look about it.

Hey, Cyco, try these links and see if they are any better: http://fenz.net/host.fenz.net/images/heron/cars/mj1-painter.jpg http://fenz.net/host.fenz.net/images/heron/cars/Neary1.jpg Terry Title: Re: Heron kit car. Post by: CyCo on Thursday, 10 June, 2010, 01:28:28 PM I had originally linked to that second link of yours, but it's a large photos and 'stretched' the forums, so I used their thumbnails instead. But they have some php script that doesn't allow linking on other sites. So I'll use one of yours instead.

I have a soft spot for these Heron's, a product of New Zealand the body and chassis is all moulded as one, the top section and bottom section after moulding are then glued together making a really strong and stiff structure. They were well made and only failed because of mismanagement from the company's major investor which took over decision making from the original founders. They did wind up buying the company back but it was to late and they went under. Unfortunately just before they released a new model of which only one was made. They still enjoy a fairly big following in New Zealand. http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=8388830&__sid=121006552848&__Qpb=true&Cr=0&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32%7c1%7c%7cpCar_PriceSort_Decimal%7c1%7c%7cpCar_Make_String%7c0%7c%7cpCar_Model_String%7c0&keywords=&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294743927&seot=1&tsrc=allcarhome&__Nne=15&trecs=1&silo=1011 http://heroncars.co.nz/template.php?p=content_index Title: Re: Heron kit car.
