Is there a kit car similar to a Vanwall ?

Something road legal, single seater, race car inspired, classic looks ?

Similar to this: http://vanwallcars.com/html/cars.html but without the price tag ?

Not that I can think of, that one is beautiful, but there is a very capable car similar in concept but modern and two seater. I think it is called a Brooke ME or something similar??? Would look cool in BRG i am positive. And rather fast to boot.

Sorry, it's Brooke 260 Double R. Brooke ME just brings up random pictures of fit women.

Ian Gray ( Stuart Taylor Motorsport until recently) is currently developing a HONDA RA300 F1 replica. 3.5 litre 24V V6. Lots of period touches, fabricated top rockers, authentic looking wheels etc. Tubular chassis with beautifully fabricated bulkheads.
He is aiming for a "one make" race series. I'm not sure whether he intends to sell any for potential road use but it's an interesting project nonetheless.

Tiger do the ERA, which is 60s F1-esque.

Ronart used to do a Mercedes W125-esque 2 seater. Not a patch on the real thing!

Tiger do a couple of classic inspired cars, and there's always the Westfield XI...

Apparently so! It was tested on Top Gear, same car, I think it costs an arm and a leg!

I've taken a peek at their website and it looks like fully built only....
Ronart was a kit, though.

Slightly earlier era but it is race car inspired and single seater and can pass an IVA.
