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)

| Cover of our new ringbound softback Assembly Manual |
An example of the 75 high resolution photos |
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.
