3R from a US perspective...

[AMG Merc]

See the article here:

Note the rear lights (of course!) and the absence of the 3R steering-wheel centre trim piece and roof-ariel. Also note mention of the SA paint sprayers Hitch Automotive, (I hadn't heard of them myself).

Other points: the write up specs alcatara/leather but the photos seem to be full leather - also, it would have been good if the press car had door speakers fitted!

Anyway, our cousins seem to like it - a lot!

Not sure I like the word "Kit Car" !!

Another very good write up anyhow.

It's a great write-up, but saying it can accelerate faster than a Macca is stretching it a bit too far!

Hitch? Name sound familiar if you added a couple of letters?

And the interior is standard: all 3Rs have Alcantara and leather.

Simon, you've lost me on the name thing but it's been a long day ...so far?! :-)

Re the interior: is that black alcantara in the photo then - looked like leather to me? And do you mean all [US specced] 3R's have the combo...?

...no all 3Rs do: an Alcantara roof and rollcage lining and leather seats/doors/dash inserts.

Clue: In which factory are our bodies produced, Rob?

My US Noble also has the cover over the center of the steering wheel. Somewhat generous with 0-60 time since I believe that the 0-60 is quoted to be around 3.7 seconds.
