Singer seem to be doing ok as well! :-)

Yes the very top end but in theory its what they also do, simply take a tired old donor car and turn into something very valuable and desirable indeed.

I've been seriously looking to build another <£10k kit car for a few year now but nothings really grabbed me - they're either ugly or the base engineering is not sufficiently developed. Had a Fury & want to try something else.

The engineering on the MEV stuff just doesn't look quite right, like it's done on the cheap
The basics of the R1ot look good but the body was designed with a ruler
The Roadrunner Racing SR2 looks good both from an engineering & looks point of view but they don't seem to have the presence of other manufacturers. No show at Stoneleigh this year.

I was hoping that someone would pick up the Warner R4, develop it and release it as a kit....

Struggling to justify another kitcar when an Elise/VX220/MX5/MR2 is available from a few £k upwards. In fact I've got a 2003 MX5 sitting gathering dust I'm considering throwing some money at.
How about this as an alternative to a kit car?

Just watched that video, love the fact that "Bruce" who built the car, struggles to find the bonnet safety catch, then doesn't seem to remember where the bonnet stay is.
