| The Moss Monaco was designed by John Cowperthwaite in 1984 it was designed to be an alternative kit for those people bored with the masses of Seven, Cobra and Morgan replicas available at the time | ||
| Build options included Triumph based Kit, using Triumph Herald, Spitfire, Vitesse, and Gt6 models, using the Triumph engine and running gear with the adapted Triumph chassis | ||
| Ford based kit, using Ford X-flow or Pinto engines and running gear with a Moss chassis | ||
| Obviously being a kit car over time many crossbreeds have been developed including Fiat twin cam engines and even a Rover V8 | ||

| Only a limited number of Monaco's were made (approx 70) and although time has diminished the numbers examples can be found as far a field as Italy, Holland and the USA | ||
| The car is a light weight nimble Fun car, the expression "A barrel of fun" suits the car perfectly The exposed driving position and lack of space means it is not very practical but gives it a fantastic impression of speed and the great handling adds to the fun, A passenger who owns a 200mph super car said "the fastest I have ever gone is 90mph in a Moss Monaco" | ||
|
Driving this car is guaranteed to put a big smile on your face without driving like a maniac or risking your license (although that is an option) Being a passenger is guaranteed to either make you smile or scream?? |
