Have not seen it in the flesh Ferg, but a guy called Arthur Edwards owned it (if it is the same one)
Hello Lee,
Yes, I think Arthur's old car is the only Striker with the engine and very nicely made too. He's sold it now and built a P4 replica instead. lick

Sure these have all been mentioned, but a few suggestions:

AMS Murtaya
GTM Libra
Fisher Fury or one of its derrivatives
Marlin 5exi
Phantom Vortex

I drive a Carcraft Cyclone and would say it's the nearest you will probably get to the layout and handling of an Elise. If you can get over the looks (the addition of front/rear spoilers and smaller lights really help in this department) then it's well worth considering. It's mid mounted and weighs in at 675kgs, easy to get in/out of, has good weather protection and will beat all but the fastest honda powered Elises on track. They aren't produced any more but I've seen a few for sale recently.
