Following on from the ugliest kit cars, what are the best looking kit cars?

Please exclude replicas as they dont count.....


I'll start off with a classic - Ginetta G15




A modern take on the seven - MEV Sonic 7:



and my current favourite (although still in development) Aeon Epona:

big fan of all the above but the GTM looks out of proportion in so many places.

Fisher Fury.





Sylva Phoenix




GTM Libra

But then I am biased, all those cars are mine!

The new Aeon Epona is the next exciting one for me, when they actually build it.

just realised its your car so I do apologise. i didnt mean to be rude or disrespectful to your p&j.

I think its more in the 1st pic than 2nd, almost looks like it needs larger rear arches and wheels.

No need to apologise. Everyone should have an opinion.



I can see what you mean. Larger rear wheels may fill the arch better. I now have bigger tyres that do fill the space better. The yellow one above has 17" wheels. Mine are 16's.

It's probably partly due to most Libra running higher at the back than the front.

yikes

Where?

IRRC they had Mini running gear and were made of wood.
Where could you hide a Jag V12 in that?

The Phoenix is always the pretty one even compared with Fury....but then I have one wink

I always think the GTMs look compressed somehow or squashed.
