thx for sharing, great pics, it looks very nice in black and that combo.

although I would change some around the gear lever? or another type gear lever and sack.
anyway, nice car.

Looks great! The detail work around the engine bay is a lot better than my past TVRs.

Very nice! Keep them coming! A video wouldn't go amiss

Looking awesome and thanks for taking the time with the photos. It's nice to see some of the details that are rarely seen. Maybe you should start a Reader's Rides thread to keep us upto date? I am sure there's many others interested in running costs and the ups and possible downs of such a car.

Cheers.

Thanks so far I am well happy with it
Under the bonnet it's well thought out and
And we'll put together. But reckon its
One that will need a good deal of looking after
But it is a race car thinly disguised as a road car
And that makes it what it is. There really is no excess
Fat just the minimum that's needed
Out side it's every bit as good as any Tvr
Although there is no paint ( who needs that any way)
In side a Tvr has more style but I don't reckon
That any of my ginetta dash will fall off any time soon
And minimal is this years look

Granted the gear stick looks odd but when driving
It's spot on as is the seating position and pedal lay out

It drives spot on and the feed back is what you want
You know what it's up to all the time and the brakes are mega

My only complaint ( and its not really one ) is when you wash it water gets in
Round the door windows but not when your driving
So still very happy

Will look at a readers rides and try to get some video up
As I am off to the ring in march

Have you driven an MX5 before this? If so, how different does it feel?

[using water]

Yes my wife had a 2007 mc5 And good fun as it was
This is a much more focused car Just bare bones fun
It's hard to liken it to any std production cars
Apart from a Tvr or a caterham but even then it's
Different maybe half of each. With some extra added
All I can say try one then buy one

Saying that I didn't. I just thought cool car and. Loads cheaper than a gt3 rs
Then one turned up ! And all my wife could say was hope you fit !

Hah, so what size is the cabin? It is annoying when a car doesn't fit the 90th percentile (particularly with regards to height..). Disappointing, I seem to remember the Marcos TSO failing on this point.

[using water]

A good size. My mate who is 6.1 fits in easy And it not a tight fit
On the seats Side to side

[RichyBoy]

That is seriously nice! Build quality looks amazing. Love the pedal box, must be well easy heel n toe. Love the steering wheel, love the looks, they've really done a good job. I hope ginetta do well with this car.

I like how purposeful the interior looks. A very pure and honest car inside and out.

[GTRene]

I was meaning (around the gear lever thing) to make it a bit more special?



like something this look but then for your car



or



or



something like that to make the looks a bot more tough
just an idea

[using water]

i was thinking some thing like this

just a bit shy of the cash for the rest of the gearbox

Love the car, I'm still considering a road car over a senior spec track car, just need to sell my car first!

After riding sportsbikes on 2K mileage holidays and many cars. Could you drive this North to South through France in a day and then spend all day in it over the next few days driving the mountain roads of the Pyrenees, and live to tell the tail?

[Jellinek]

Well it looks great in black. The headlight surround blends in nicely and the straight-sided appearance (imho) seems greatly reduced. Lovely car! Thanks for taking the time to post the pics and the updates too. You must be well chuffed!
