In 2002 Alex of ALMAC cars started the Almac Sabre Series 2. Like the TC and TG Alex has again looked at all the shortcomings of the original Sabre and improved them. The car has been moved away from the MX5, further upmarket where although it will be more expensive to build it will be able to compete more favourably. A new and stronger chassis has been designed. The humble Cortina drive train has completely gone now. Front wishbone suspension has been designed in house by Alex. The independent rear suspension come from the ever reliable and popular XJ6 Jaguar.
The body has undergone a complete facelift with the only parts remaining unchanged are the doors and the Cortina windscreen. The front has been given a more aggressive look which is aided by the subtle bonnet bulge. One of the cars biggest improvements has been in the size of the boot which has gone from being barely useful, when the roof has been stowed, to more than adequate. Transmission tunnel has been widened for bigger engines and the heating system and controls now superb coming out of a late model Corolla. The headlights which had been one of the trickier parts of the car to assemble have now been fully sorted out.
In short Alex has addressed all the shortcomings of the Series 1 and built a better car.
