yep thats supercool.

Hopefully they'll do a 6r4 kit next with a 996 turbo underneath and just one centrally mounted front seat.

Neither could I, but someone on the forum linked suggested 10k for the rolling chassis.

already racing one, saw it in motorsport news a few weeks ago - won first time out, not surprising from SHP though !!

I like it and I'm an 80's child! I think even if I was born in the 90's with the same background I'd like it!

How fantastic, and when it's got a bit rusty can you turn it into a Dutton? wink Actually I love it looks really good I'm sure that there's going to be quite a few takers.

We're currently doing something similar but for a 60s car somewhat similar ilk Might post some teasers shortly as we're still working on the moulds.

realistically how hard do think this would be to get road legal?

Im supposing if it is built with new parts - which wouldnt be so hard - it will be able to be registerd with a new age related plate?

Very nice looking bit of kit anyway, I have been looking at MK1s for a while now, to build up as a track car, this saves 90% of the problems and would probably work out a fair bit cheaper too!
would be a nice little project.

Age related plates only apply where there is an identifiable donor. If the car is built from new parts then it will qualify for a new registration.

What a great Idea..... but a cheap Donner to make it 4WD anyone ?? How about Scooby underpinnings ?? The 22B always reminded me of a MK1 Escort.....

I think that car is gagging for a Honda S2000 Vtec , it's 6 speed box and supercharger. 350bhp should suffice.....

For those that are interest it is £10k for the rolling chassis however this does not include things like 'glass' etc.

For a 'complete kit' less engine and trans etc, you are looking at an additional £20k's worth of parts from SHP, note that both of these prices do NOT include VAT!!!

Looking through the parts list there are some things that you may feasibly be able to substitute or find at a lower price however SHP has stated that quite a few things are bespoke and so may be hard to make work since you can't rob bits of a genuine Mk1.

Allegedly it's 650-675kg in certain configurations!

Still, I *LOVE* it.
