Hi everyone, my 1st post, so please, be gentle.

Ok, bit of advice please.

Is there such a thing as an automatic kit car, such as locust,tiger,westfield, that kind of style.

Following a motorcross accident 3 yrs ago and having a spinal injury i do really need an auto, can drive a manual although its hard work.

So, is there hope, or am i banging my head against the wall.

Thank you for all your replies folks, very helpful, PLEASE, keep them coming.

As regard to getting in and out of car, it will not be a pretty sight, however it can be done, im guessing its much like a lotus elise, and ive managed that ok, just!!!!!

The link, somewhere on this post to the car that sold on ebay back in jan is spot on what im after, so please, if anybody sees anymore, give me a shout.

Thanks again people.

Ok, wheres the best place for me to be looking for the car of my dreams.

Am browsing the autotrader,pistonheads site and of course fleabay.

Is it worth me buying a few magazines, of the kit car variety of course.

Im guessing this is buying season due to upcoming summer weather.

How about this one folks

Anybody think it may be possible to fit the "trickshift system" or even just a clutch lever onto the gear lever.

Ok folks, after a long search, a car has been found.

I wont say too much, just in case the owner is a member on here, however a viewing is on the cards so need any info you may have on car.

Its a sylva striker, with a 1600 xflow engine, and an auto box

Kent camshaft, with twin dellorto carbs.

Owner has been very helpful in sending me pics, car looks great and well looked after.

All im after really is things to look out for, is this a good engine to have in this style of car, blah blah blah.

The more info i have the better for when i take a look.

Thanks everyone.
