vehicles

The only model was the Midtec Spyder . This was an open two-seater. One source describes the look as revolutionary, even if not everyone liked it. The front was remarkably short. The engine was mounted behind the seats. The base was a tubular frame. Different V2 engines of motorcycles such as Honda Firestorm or Honda SP 1 and SP 2 powered the vehicles. The engines made either 110 hp or 136 hp from a displacement of 1000 cc .

The model was designed in 1988 by Lee Noble from Kitdeal , who produced it until 1989. This was followed by Midtec Sports Cars until 1997 and Stuart Taylor Motorsport until 2005. After discontinuing production at Midway Sports Cars, an Irish company acquired the project in 2009 and tried to continue production. A total of about 32 copies were made.
