Anyone know of any four seater/ family friendly kit cars?

I've seen the JBA Falcon TSR, but hoped there might be a few more options...

Or you could try one of those luuurvly Beaufords!

edited to add...

More seriously, if you like the 'vintage' style stuff, theres the Marlin/YKC Berlinetta, and didn't NG do a 4-seater?

Yep, just like mine. Ford Mk2 Fiesta based though out of production for some time now, but quite a few used ones about.

Then there's the Metisse, another 'modern' four seater originally launched around 1990, this time Sierra based. Not sure if this is still in production or not and only ever seen a couple of built examples.

Or the Ginetta G26 range, based on Cortina. Sold well in mid to late 80s but not many about now.

Struggling to think of 4-seater kit cars still currently being made. Think Pilgrim were offering a 4-seater Porsche speedster copy, but that's about it. Probably just isn't the demand.

Would advise you getting along to this year's Stoneleigh show where you'll find the UK's biggest collection of both new and used kit cars. Might find something to suit there.

Also a Pug 406-based Ferrari F360 that is either a two or four seater as needed?

The Ginetta G26 was by far the best 4 seat kit car ever made. It was even tested on Top Gear by Frank Page, who found it a good value car with excellent handling.

Pilgrim do their take on a Porsche Speedster.... based on a full length Beetle chassis, which is a genuine four seater.



Not my cup of tea, but it could be an option for some.
