The Best-looking Kit-Car from Britain...?

NB: I'm asking about only those cars that were actully 'designed' by uk kitcar makers - but not those that are mere replica's, as like the many knock-offs thats are assembled with all the originality of man with no imagination but a cheap-rent garage an time on his hands.

so me say...

1. phantom sportscar
2. gardner-douglas estate
3. mn racing tytan

so wot say U?

[all better looking then any krout volume car me reckons]

ps- if the 'Nova Drophead' counts i'd swap that into 1st place
pps - an wasnt there a uk co making this again called Aerotech?

Err, don't you mean Gardner-Douglas??........

Gotta be the Spartan. Or possibly the Moss Monaco.

It has to be the ULTIMA, no question. No doubt some of you would doubt it's kit car status though.
At the more reasonably priced end of the market the GTM Libra is not without it's charms.
And the best of luck to the TONIQ-R, possibly not the best looking LSIS but refreshing nonetheless.

Sylva / Stuart Taylor Phoenix got to be my vote

looks tidy from any angle

Gardner Douglas Estate? Looks like a hearse for the guy who's in a hurry to meet his maker.

Just found an extract from the old build manual for the Monaco -

"....when you have successfully removed the hot water cylinder, discard any remaining lagging and begin riveting at regularly space intervals...."

Gotta be the Nova for me

OK if we're being serious then.....the Chikaro - rear engine skoda based, makes me shiver just thinking about it

Chikaro?? ...... was that the thing with the wavey louvres over the headlights? made in Swansea I think. I remember kit car magazine saying the headlights resembled flakey pastry.

[southpaw]

I'm a bit biased but the Aeon GT gets my vote
