FANCY BEING A CAR DESIGNER?

For Schools/Technical Colleges/Universities requiring a discount for a Phæton 5 to build for educational purposes please contact us.

One of our goals over the last half century has been to encourage more people to enter the World of automotive design and engineering.

So where do you start?

Before you design and build your own car body you will need a chassis, here are 3 options:-

1/ Design/fabricate your own chassis (time consuming, expensive and will it be IVA compliant?)

2/ Use an old kit car chassis (will it be IVA compliant and undamaged?)

3/ Purchase an IVA compliant chassis from us (instantaneous and inexpensive)

STONELEIGH 2026

“Mention Stoneleigh to a motoring enthusiast
is like mentioning Glastonbury to a Hippy “
Tim Dutton

Sample pages from our new 47 page full colour Assembly manual, see HERE

There are assembly manuals and there is the Dutton assembly manual bringing a new dimension to kit car building.

The all new Dutton assembly manual for 2026 £15 inc p&p refunded with kit, 47 pages, 75 large colour photos. Ring bound so all pages open flat and in clear – easy to read – print.

The first 6 pages are a preamble explaining the layout of the manual, it is then split into 3 sections.

Can also be downloaded FOC from this web site, but when we downloaded one it used an entire colour print cartridge due to the sheer number of high resolution photos. (best to do this at work!!!)

Section 1 Mazda strip down

Section 2 Rolling chassis/power unit build up

Section 3 Refitting body and final assembly

All parts listed in green in the manual are supplied loose and as standard in the kit.

Anyone interested in what’s happening with the 8000+ Duttons that we made (so far) or has any technical questions should join our Facebook group www.facebook.com/duttoncars and for amphibs there is Facebook group Mike Ryan Amphibious Vehicles and Cars.

When we say built to last, we mean it.
Will your next project still be around in 2080?
