I am looking for a track car at the moment. This looks like a lot of fun for 3500, does anyone know anything more about it ?

My concern about that would be being allowed onto a track. The trackdays I go on require the car to have an MOT or meet MSA regulations. Not sure that that thing would do either, contrary to what the advert says he may just have 'got away with it' so far, whilst technically being outside the rules and therefore at risk of refusal in the future.

Apart from it being fugly, it doesn't "read" well to me, keep searching. For that you could get a decent track MX5 whistle

You ain't got no alibi, you UGLY! You UGLY!

Don't buy. I know shouldn't judge a book by its cover or a car by its bodywork... but could you trust a car built by someone who thought that looked good?

'ere Bob, that's the chassis built, what'll we stick on top, 'ow about one of them Caterfield type things?

Nah mate, I've an old fridge-freezer, paint it grey and that'll do nicely.

I quite fancied that myself a while back. I decided that £3500 was strong money for a track only car though - there are a wide variety of 2nd single seater available for mot much more.

I stand by my reasoning for avoiding ugly cars like that.
