Now here's a kit that excites me - but I'm a 70s child.

Couldn't see any mention of prices, anyone know?

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

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.

Bloody hell that makes it expensive - £36k and then you need an engine and box. Ouch. That's a £45-50k build.

Ultima territory. Well, not a far hike to and, much as this is cool, I know which I'd go for.
