The other day, Den challenged me and Ex Biker to phone RV Dynamics for a Python brochure which he suggested didn’t even exist. Mine arrived today as promised by the bloke I spoke to.

I don’t know if it was PF, but he explained that the factory was in Sri Lanka and that the first chassis have just been made. He also told me I was through to the WK office which acts a point of contact for RV in the UK.

He told me that his role was primarily with the magazine and that I should research the Cobra replica market fully before making my final decision of which kit to buy – whether that’s a Python or one of the others (which suggests to me a lack of bias and also confidence in the product).

I was very impressed by what I was told and that the information arrived in the post when they said it would. It’s a very different experience to the one I was expecting from the impression Den gives about the WK office.

We'll never know, because we only ever hear Den's side of the argument. Was he ever under such close scrutiny when he simoultaneously ran Pilgrim and KCM?

Why does this emoticon only actually fire one of his guns?

I make no secret of the fact that I trust Den more than I do Filby but having thought the whole thing through it's clear there are differences, not least the number of other strings to WK's bow.

Of course it might be easier to answer if Mr Filby were to come forward :tumbleweed:

Maybe not then.


Isn't that only because you haven't heard from PF personally? Am I the only one who thinks he has no obligation to join a forum based argument like this? Look what happened to Ted from Ultima when he had the 'audacity' to respond to something Den said.

Nice to hear from someone who's been around kit cars for a while and not called Den!

Secondly Pilgrim’s products were available for third party scrutiny, including Which Kit? who built one in 1996/7.


Did you get free adverts? If so, did you complain so vocally as you do now when other manufacturers get that deal?

Actually, it's Den who gives the free adverts and the manufacturer who complains when they get them...


I was referring to Den's suggestion that Ultima hadn't paid for any ads in WK in return for the Ultima build story (which turned out not to be true anyway)

Ted left matters in the air.



Maybe you've got more time to invest in this argument than anyone else (PF included)

I don’t believe you’re going to get a brochure and I notice that BigRon decided not to answer that point. Oh dear, I’ve attacked BigRon now.



Sorry, I was away from the forum for a while. The 'information' consists of a colour leaflet with three sheets attached to it. Seems OK for a kit car brochure to me. The contact details are 1 Howard Rd and an e-mail address for (I guess) Vince Wright. Less spelling mistakes than the cover of KCM too

Why don't you think Ex-Biker will get a brochure? Didn't it take extra long for your magazine to reach him in Cornwall (or was that because of the post strike).
