What Kit do you Own?
Discussion
peetbee said:1. Ultima GTR just nearing completion, hopefully to SVA later this month. Engine arrived this week
1) Current Kit - what do you own now?
2) Previous Kits - what have you owned & would you buy another?
3) Next Kit - what are you considering?
4) Dream kit - what you would buy if money were no object?
2. Westfield Megablade - really great fun, absolutely mental on the road, great as a track car which it was originally built for (the Evo munches tyres, brakes etc. and does 7mpg on track
) 
Still got this one, plan on using it for more sprints and hillclimbs.
3. Not even allowed to think about it at the moment
4. Another Ultima maybe.
[quote=peetbee]Having read the other topics I thought it wouldbe interesting to find out what kit cars are owned by PH members. I then thought of the following questions:
1) Current Kit - what do you own now?
2) Previous Kits - what have you owned & would you buy another?
3) Next Kit - what are you considering?
4) Dream kit - what you would buy if money were no object?
Tiger Supersix (2 litre pinto)
Westfield se (2 litre pinto)
None, quite happy at the moment.
Can't choose between Gardner Douglas Cobra rep, with full leather interior and 500hp 7 litre Chevvy V8...OR Caterham R500, but I think on balance the GD would be a more "sensible" choice.......

1) Sylva Fury 2 litre XE with Nitrous
2) Sylva Leader 1700 super sprint x-flow. Great handling, better than my Fury. But ugly.
3) Sylva Striker with Chevy LS1, 15 inch wide rear tyres, and lots of Nitrous
4) McLaren M8 Replica with 602 Chevy Big Block, a blower and even more Nitrous.

Interesting lists so far. The Ultima seems to feature quite highly in both the dream cars and the currently owned. Lots of admiration for those of you who are building the Ultima as your first car 
Plenty of seven inspired cars and cobras feature on the lists too. Keep 'em coming
Now that gives me an idea for a new topic, soon push those pesky magazine topics off the first page

GET THAT DUTTON ON THE ROAD!

I love a Kit Car enthusiast's sense of normality![/quote]
Yeah, the GD's much more practical, I can fit the weeks shopping from Tesco in the boot!!!
1) Current Kit -
Carisma Century SS100 Jaguar look alike - Shes called Lady Ann
2) Previous Kits
No previous kits but I still own a rebuilt Austin 7 (Timber, Fabric and leather)
3) Next Kit
Looking at an E-type, but would like something with a roof / hard top.
4) Dream kit
Lambo look alike - Probably a RD1

Yo Steve, nice to see you on here.
Just shout if you need any help.

1. Ultima GTR (350 SB Chev) current car
2. Rotrax (2 litre pinto) GD427 (302 SB Ford)
The GD was rather nice and may still be kicking around - I sold to Hallmark Cars 4 or 5 years ago, was Q730DSA anyone got it? Hopefully the Rotrax will have been left in a layby and set on fire a long time ago.
3. Something small with a bike engine (maybe one of these new fangled V8s made of 2 Hyabusas in a westerham thing?)
4. Trying to work out what kit can be dafter than an Ultima in terms of cost, performance and pose value

3) Got to be the Vortex with Duratec engine

Hi Pete, long time no see! Haven't you finished that S£ yet!? 
I've sold the black S3 now to concentrate on the business, but the lack of club motor sport is beginning to take effect, so I recently purchased a Serria Cosworth , anyway back to the matter in hand.
Current Kit: None
Last kit: Dutton Phaeton S3 2 ltr pinto 5 speed
Next kit: I quite fancy a Jaguar V12 based Monza
Dream Kit: Mirage Countach
Home to see you soon, Simon.
