Testing the New MST Mk1 at Donington
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.
The All New MST Mk1 First Road Test
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.
Autocar Magazine Review our New Mk2
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:

We are now seeing new Mk1 bodyshells coming off the production line following a year of development work. With the 2021 order book nearly full we have a wide range of Mk1’s to build from a standard Mexico arched Type-49 to full spec, bubble arched, 2.8L Millington Diamond powered race car, more news on this later…
Update on the all new 2021 Mk1
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.
Filming Day with Jonny Smith at MST Cars
So today we had Jonny Smith over at MST Cars filming our new Mk2 for his Late Brake Show, had a good filming at Motorsport-Tools including a tour of our warehouse and distribution facility as well as seeing the Mk1 and Mk2 being built.
Jonny loved driving the Mk2 and taking in some amazing north Wales landscapes!
