Dutton Melos Drive

Dutton Melos Drive

£75.00

Try your hand at a home-grown sports car.

Built between 1981 and 1989, the Dutton Melos was part of Britain’s thriving kit car scene. Using tried and tested Ford parts under a lightweight fibreglass body, it offered affordable open-top motoring with a bit of DIY spirit thrown in.

It wasn’t about luxury or refinement — it was about fun, simplicity and making something your own. The Melos was a common sight in the pages of Practical Classics and Kit Car magazines, but much rarer on the road today.

This is your chance to drive a proper bit of 80s British ingenuity and see what the kit car craze was all about – WITH NO DOORS!
