Full bodied seven style?

[polus]

Does anyone know of any full bodied seven style kit cars (similar in body to a radical)?

Many years ago I fancied a Westfield, but was ultimately put off by the fact a 150bhp Cavalier could do 135mph supposedly, but a 175bhp Caterham topped out at 125mph. Hence ended up with a Sylva Fury (Now Fisher Fury). Alternative being the Stylus which is basically the same chassis. www.specialistsportscars.com/

Radicals are mid engined, but sevens are front. Are you looking for something with a more prototype bodystyle than what I've mentioned ?

Off the top of my head, so there's probably a few more out there.
AGM's WLR
Dominator, as seen on Kit Car Crisis
Mission's T5
Westfield's XTR2 and XTR4
If you can find one, MK's GT1
TAD's LMP

Martin.

Stuart Taylor also do the Phasar now, which is a Phoenix chassis from what I can work out, but with a more sports prototype (but IMHO not very pretty) bodyshell

Of course that's only of any consequence if you are on a track...

...and even then only some tracks.

Buy mine, it's geared for 145mph and probably has the power to get there.

Possibly, but didn't like the idea of having a large amount of bhp used to battle against the wind, which would certainly dull acceleration at 60+ mph.

On track my those figures wouldn't be as appropriate if the car was properly preprared, as with a helmet on, a windscreen isn't required so the drag will be reduced a good deal by

Im not sure what Im after - well an Ultima GTR but theres a slight issue with money and a safe place to keep it

Something fun, that handles well, goes like a rocket, and that I can get my hands in on building, refurbishing it - doesnt have to be pratical.

I change my mind every month (not going to do it for another year - at least) but was thinking 7 with a S2000 or VAG 1.8T engine...
