Well after two years of work and waiting for a website to host it, my car is finally up for public scrutiny.

Thenks everyone for the positive reaction.

SVA should be three weeks (just done forms and phonecall)

First show will now be Stoneleigh as Stafford would be trailer only which would spoil the effect

Look forward to seeing a few of you then, should also be taking it to the Caterham Slalom in May at Silverstone.

did anyone notice the clever (bluff) use of the sun on the windscreen to mask the fact it has no seats yet

Cheers
Nick

As far as I know, you will be able to buy the Rover based kits for some time yet, the Ford version will only be offered as a turnkey car via an agent (Studio G) due to the costs of obtaining all new mechanicals in order to register it as a new car.

There are now a lot of the features designed for the Ford car available to update the Rover kit such as projector lamps, new interior, spoiler, full central locking with integrated alarm, electric mirrors etc.

Mine has all of these bar the projector lamps which will be done later. Norman at Phantom will not say no to any suggestion if you push hard enough

The complete kit works out at around 14K plus our VAT (17.5%), you would avoid that if exporting. I think there would be no problem in just specifying a body/chassis as each module is priced separately anyway. As to getting it to the USA, I can't see a problem apart from the size making it not too cheap. As the engine is the Honda Legend one you should have available donors? unless of course you want to fit another set of mechanicals.

To answer your question Graham. the seats are from an 820 Vitesse (Recaro) and the centres have been done in Peacock blue Alcantara with GTR embroidered on them.

Although I have never tried one on track it should handle well as Phantm's backgroung is in racing rather than kits!

Although the kit is 14K in order to put together a nice car and to add air-con and a full leather interior you can look at around 25K all in. They already use the Ford Duratech 3ltr V6 and associated management systems/instruments in a turnkey version so it would be easy for you to specify a chassis with these mounts.

Hi Bill
The windscreen (shield ) is bespoke and aboutthe only part that I know they have plenty of!

Car is not available in the US as yet despite plans for left hand drive many moons ago. Production has pretty much ground to a halt at the moment pending some new orders.
