Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum, here are some photos of my xO500. It has a VW 1800cc 8v engine

I am liking that, very much. Never heard of an x0 500 before, nice!

Thanks, been developing it for about 5-6 yrs, this car is 2 & 1/2 years old and I've been building them for clients for just over 1 year now.

Great little thing is that!

Like that quite a lot. Why have we never heard of it before?

[Gakes]

Probably because I've never marketed it enough, and I'm only building them for just over a year now. Looks like I need to invest in advertising

[Red16]

I really like that

What sort of cost are you looking at to have one on the road?

How much does it weigh?

[Gakes]

Thanks. In ZAR (South african Rands) its about ZAR 130 000.00 which is roughly U$ 17 800.00 including VW 2L ABF engine and all lighting

Need to add 20% VAT and 5% IIRC import duty. So £15K or more depending what way they work it out.

Chassis, aluminium firewall+floor, wishbones, uprights and body panels selling at ZAR 34000.00 which is about U$ 4600.00 - I'm trying to make them as affordable as I can.

We will be moving to much bigger premises shortly so expect to see a few more developments. A gullwing middy is currently being developed as well, chassis is mostly done and body moulds are in phase 2.
