Almost every time i look at the "photo of your kit car" thread it seems to consist of the same type over and over again, either a cobra or a 7 type and whilst some of them have great specs it can get a little boring which is not what kit cars should be about.

Now, what about this,

Complelely different and wish somebody would buy the design rights off them and offer it in kit form, looks great fun and so different from anything else out there,


Regards,

Hi,

One seat only i understand but surely there could be a market from aging motorcyclists who need a more comfy but superfast option instead of a Harley.

If not a Sub3 then the Kit car market should be about offering something different, in the same way that all euroboxes look the same are not kit cars going in the same direction and surely the cobra or 7 market is well saturated by now.

The sub3 looks professional (unlike some joke embarassing kitcat designs) and has already had a considerable £££ spent in the R@D dept although it would probably have to be adjusted to perhaps use more off the shelf component cars.

Just want to see the wow factor on our roads again, it rarely happens these days, no wonder our kids are not interested in cars anymore,

Hi,

Interesting thoughts but the sub 3 wheeler was designed in 2005, some 8 years ago and still looks relevant today, and my Marcos (albeit not trading now) used the basic shape from the late 60's to the late 80's before changing appearance much.

Ultima cars have tweeked their basic shape which they have used for several years, my thoughts being get it right and unique and the design will stand the test of time,

If it's completely different, new and fresh, built in limited numbers, chances are it will last a long time before anyone thinks it looks dated.


I like that thought !
