Anyone know anything about PS300R?
Discussion
As above really - does anyone know anything about the Paul Stephens PS300R? This is their web site: www.psautoart.com/retro1.html
I'm told they're making car number 10 at present, and that the second one they made is currently for sale. However it wasn't at their showroom, and I don't think they are selling it for the current owner (which suprised me).
Can anyone tell me more about them? And does anyone know where I can find out about the one for sale?

Don't know of one for sale, but I saw one at Autostrasse on Wednesday.
I was not that impressed to be honest, Fuchs faux wheels are too shallow from rim to hub. They also used cap head bolts to secure teh rim to hub, and they looked like standard ones to me. Bodywork was a little off kilter on the lower rocker panel nearside, Heat exchangers were a little strange in design with what appeared to be duck tape blanking off an outlet at the rear. (although I might be mistaken here) The rear light clusters gave the impression of not being horizontal. the front valance wasn't screwed to the bodywork in the usual fashion as the normal undertray is, it was just "forced over the fittings and well, it didn't look fixed....
No rear or front undertrays, and no wheel arch protection fitted.
Now the car was on the ramps, with another 3.2 conversion underneath, so wasn't being worked on. It didn't look right to me, the 3.2 underneath did however and looked more in proportion although I didn't see the mechanicals of this one.
Autostrasse said they had been building engines and gearboxes for them......
YMMV however.
Edited to add, I found out that this model is not a for sale one, but a demo version.
