Just lurking in the classifieds and came across the Javvan R1.

Look like it was a cross between a Ford Sport KA, a Carrera GT and a Veyron

Oddly enough though I quite like it scratchchin

The biggest let down is the proportions (The Ford Sport KA part)

it just looks a little too tall for its length

Anyways, apologies if it is a pearoast, I did do a search first.

what does everyone else reckon?

It's basically a Strathcarron, right?

Just a bit re-engineered. Remember it from a Kit Car mag a few years ago.

looks very similar to the Marlin 5exi too.

Looking at their claimed 0-60 it's pretty damn fast too!

Also - I agree on the hint of spyker

I believe that was the moulds bought from Strathcarron, bought from Javan... Hence they all share DNA but different chassis structures (spaceframe in the later cars) and engines...
