good craftsmanship, but the proportions are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY wrong... will still look like another ill-conceived rip off when finished

Not very impressed with that as it's very single curved but the wooden bodied super car directly below is mind blowing.
Direct link is www.joeharmondesign.com
On a local note, if it ever surfaces, the BMW M1 replica Frank Van Lingan rebuild in alloy from a EMW chassis is stunning.

Hi

Here are a few photos of a Kiwi showing the Poms how to build a car.
http://k80rum.co.uk/RacelineCar.aspx
Peter McEwan is the designer and builder - Ex Christchurch, now in Reading. He built the Duratech for my Caterham 7. When I collected it in '94 this car was just a bare spaceframe in the corner of the workshop. Good to see that he stuck with it.
