Anyone got any new pics of the finished/part finished car? Am looking at getting 1 of these or a Coram if they ever get it finished but could realy do with some more info before I commit. Im looking for something similiar to the XTR2 but with a little more ground clearance as its got to be a daily driver (I will put up with the cold and wet as long as it dosn't drag along the ground) and should accept a car engine....hopefully a Subaru lump...which could make things interesting!

Nice one Meerkat, looked at your site a couple of times before. 1 thing that I am curious about is how do you get the body to match from 1 side to the other? How long before you are finished do you reckon?

Smeagol, im in the same boat as you mate, not to sure on the MK GT1 as I would prefer a car engine, the Coram looks just the ticket but until I see some real life chassis and body pic's I will have to reserve judgement. The "As One" featured today looks exactly right....except the price!!! I need a mid engined, open top, bare bones, car engined, kit form car that has some decent ground clearance so I can drive it everyday (I dont mind the wet and cold, but it must be able to go over speed bumps)....Oh yeah and all for under £20k fully built.....Is this to much to ask?

Some very valid points, what do you think of the "AS ONE" www.automotivesolutions.de ? I know its only a CAD drawing but why cant one of the UK manufacturers put out something like this in kit form at a reasonable price? It should have enough space in the back to fit most 4/6 cylinder engines either N/S or E/W and enough ground clearance to be a daily driver. The MK is so close but it just looks a little weedy (but thats only IMO of course), the XTR2 looks the business but just too low, if Coram can get it all together and produce on their promises they will clean up. Personaly, if someone can bring out something like the "As One" in kit form for under £10k I will be beating a path to there door....

Is that the single seater that is on page 6 of "which kit" this month? Called t5, he needs five orders to go into production and he will also be developing a two seater, your right though it did look good. (my mistake thats rear engined.)
