Check out this link and look closely at the chassis of this car. Looks familiar doesn't it!

Go on then. Amaze us. What does the chassis look like? I can only see one picture which shows and chassis, and I don't recognise it from anywhere (never having seen a real Ferrari V12 like that one).

It's an Ultima chassis. Come on man, you've certainly seen one about haven't you? Look at the engine room and the footwell in the cabin, the side sills and the shift lever.

Pretty darn good body work.

You are correct Ken! Its a NF Auto Development Foreman canam. www.nfauto.co.uk/
They've been around for a while. Since 98' when I was doing my initial research. The old website used to say, "Based on the Ultima Chassis." It no longer makes this reference, but the chassis hasn't changed. It also uses the same uprights. Not a bad price either for the kit.
Cheers!

That's strange. The only picture where I could see any chassis work was that lattice work between the seats. Now, maybe all of the Ultima chassis I've seen have been non standard, but they've all lacked this particualr feature.

Without spending the remainder of the morning looking at the different pictures l have to concur with James. However l do know the car and as bigmack says it is an NF Developments car. l believe this is the one that Neil Foreman brought along to the Kent Kit car show earlier this year and the same one that l sat in. lt is a well finished car and of course the chassis is Noble developed so pretty similar to the Ultima. There are many visual clues in real life which l still cant see on the photos. Best possible use of a 400i that l can think of.
