Been having a look at these online yesterday, really quite impressed, espcially with the Type R engine in place.

Pricey seem scary HIGH though......


Anyone got one? I can't seem to find any used ones for sale so maybe there aren't many about. Shame as it looks good, but Marlin compare it to a 7 replica as an alternative, but spending over 20k for one seems a bit steep considering what else is out there in the kit car market.

Nah haven't seen one in person yet.

I was looking at Robin Hood's and came across them by accident, I quite like the theme and ethos but the price even in kit form it OTT in my opinion, espcially when compared to the likes of the GBS Zero.

Shame really as I initally thought I was on to a winner.

What do you actually get for that much? Is that for a complete car, all new parts, or what?
Yeah that was a turnkey I think, but not sure on spec. Even in kit guise it still seems a heck of a lot of money.

Umm it doesn't look bad but not quite me. Also only 1.4 and at £17k + VAT it's no cheaper.
