Back in 2010 i started a build of a Dax Rush V8

2011 i Sold it needing the money to protect a bsuiness investment frown

Roll forward to today and i've started looking at kits

From what i can see at the moment the kit car industry seems to have been decimated- am i missing something? very sad if it has!

Who still builds good cobras? 7alikes?

That's a very sorry and sad tale

So if i can't buy a Dax or Quantum any more and i can't afford a GD T70 what's still good? I loved the muirtaya when that came out but it didn't seem to last long!

Well it can't be a lightweight 7-alike as i don't fit! i did fit in quantums and cobras though!

Needs a big v8 and lots of torque with a bit of internal space.

Thatnks for the reminder about stoneleigh- its harder with a young family now frown

To be honest, i'm sure i can find lots of kits, its just the surprise i felt when i started seraching for Dax, etc only to find them gone!

There is now a lot of social stigma attached to driving a kit car. People know it's not the real thing and you look ridiculous driving one. Years of mockery on Top Gear have killed demand.
Do you really have nothing better to do in life? 10 posts a day of complete drivel....
