Any Aeon GT-3 owners?

[malc_di]

Looking for feedback about this car. I'm drawn to the 3 seat arrangement (could get both the kids in!). Is it still available to build? What's it like for handling, performance etc. Any feedback appreciated

Tribble's yer man. I am sure he will be along soon, after he has fed the cats!

Yup, I'm here

Yes, it's still available to build - handling is exceptional, performance is relative to how much you want to spend

In mine, I've got a VAG 1.8T engine, largely unmodified, 0-60 is just under 4 seconds (225bhp).

Justin Yates' one is also a VAG 1.8T, but extensively upgraded (internally an externally) - I've no idea what his 0-60 is, but I think it's got about 530bhp. He occasionally pops in on PH.

I won't repeat my website (thanks, Fer!), but the Owners club (which I also run) is http://www.aeonownersclub.com/

Thank you. I didn't know there was an owner's club website, that's helpful. For me (and the kids) it'd be a road car with maybe the occasional track day but I haven't really got time for that. What I do have though is a lot of nice twisty lanes.

That's pretty much what I wanted from mine - although I've not had the opportunity to take it on the track yet (was meant to a while ago, but the organiser had to go into hospital, and it was cancelled).

There aren't that many on the road (~10), so the owners' club is more an enthusiasts club - however, there are pictures of all but one of them on there (in some guise or another). Feel free to log on and introduce yourself.

I think I'm probably the closest owner to you, although I am in Guildford (not sure exactly where you are). I'd be willing for you to have a look around, ask questions, go out for a spin and the like.

Thanks. That would be great. We are in Croydon. I'll have a chat with the missus and come back to you.
