Sylva Spectre....

[Furyous]

Why have I missed this ?
Ive seen nor heard a thing about this,and only found it by surfing around.
Whats the feeling ?
Looks to me like a very good alternative to the Fury, to the point I will be speaking to Jeremy Phillips in the morning.

There is quite a bit of stuff about it on the google sylva group.

I like it!

I am VERY interested in this car as well and looking forward to more details as they become available!

Have seen a few bits and pieces in the kitcar mags over the last few months and they have whet my appetite!

The bare bodyshell reminds me of a Porsche 550, for some reason.

Looks interesting, buy I'll reserve judgement until I see the finished article.

Certainly prettier than the Riot, but then I do quite like the Riot's ultra-functional looks, too.

Looks a bit like a more productionized version of the mid-bike-engined Fury mule that Mark Fisher developed.

If it weighs in at around 600kg and can take a 2.0 Honda VTEC... It will be absolutely mental!

Should be way less. The R1 Riot, which ok , doesnt have the full body is quoted at 400kg.

If it's a Jeremy Phillips design you can be fairly sure it'll be amazing to drive.

Any more pics?

[NDT]

that's lovely - assume build costs will only be slightly higher than a Riot?

[Furyous]

few more pictures on the sylva website. Costs for the spectre are quoted as £7k built. Can't post links as on phone

I will be making 'contact' when they have the first demonstrator!

If you could have a fully built car, brand new for less than £10k, that weighs less than an S1 Elise but packs a bigger punch, with the 'full body' (ok, no roof) then I think they could have a real success on their hands.

I have spent that much this year on prepping my 911 for the tracks!
