Would assume they are still available for purchase. Last time i saw RAW i think they were focusing more on existing customer cars because kit car sales arent doing brilliantly.
Cant see why you wouldnt be able to purchase one new though as its pretty much a Striker with new body

I got an e-mail telling me that they would do one and it's certainly on my short list, despite the rear spoiler.
Also in the running are an S-3 sized Seven and the Sylva J-15 (if they can get the US version to accept a Honda donor)
BTW, does anyone know what a Fulcrum would weigh compared to a Striker? I'd be looking at the 2.0 Duratec in the Fulcrum.

While I appreciate that the RAW Striker round-tube chassis is meant to be better than the Sylva Striker square-tube version the Fulcrum is very much the ugly sister compared with the Phoenix or Fury. It is after all just another full bodied Striker.
Jeff – that’s certainly one man’s (I’m assuming there) opinion. I like the Fury and the Phoenix as well, but IMO, they are all three attractive in their own way. The only semi-goofy part of the Fulcrum is the boot, other than that the sides and front are easily as attractive as the other two, which are losing a little edge to time. All else being equal, I’d probably take the Fulcrum myself as it has a more modern edge to it (not that the others look bad by any means).You can certainly buy a Fury from Fisher Sportscars (BGH Geartech). http://www.fishersportscars.co.uk/
Both Rainbird and Cyana seem to have gone quiet in the Phoenix front.
The Fulcrum is not a pretty car in the flesh....honest.

Perhaps I have no style, or what I have is a bit twisted, but I didn't see much ugly in any of the three cars posted. If I could get the Phoenix with a Duratec, I'd put it on my short list as well, but the company pushing it now just doesn't seem quite up to snuff, and I'm not that hot on the Toyota 1600, though it's a nice little rever.
The Fulcrum looks good, as does the J-15. The promising thing about the J-15 is that we may get the opportunity stateside to drop in a V-tec -- that in itself make the package look more attractive. And who knows, we may even get a catchy name to go with it.
The Fulcrum has already been set up for a Duratec, so that should go in pretty easy without much fussing. I'm pretty sure the Phoenix would be more work to get the 'non-standard' engine installed. I've nothing against it -- it's a lovely car, just would prefer a bit different mechanical setup which has to come under consideration.

lots of lovely looking cars there...
I prefer the more modern look, so the Fulcrum I really like (although would need to see one in the flesh)..
I've seen Fury's done in such a way that they don't look quite so retro.. which is also good:
OR there's the Stylus RT:
...but can you even get them now?
