I have owned a couple of Caterhams, a Series 2 Lotus Elise and a Series 2 Lotus Exige.

But what I really like is classic coupe styled 2x seater British Sportscars. I really do think that there is a big gap in the market place for this and I am suprised that someone from the kit car world has not filled it.

I really think that there is a big hole in the market that is crying out to be filled, The car wild have classic curved line, run a 2lt 200bhp ford Zetec or a 230bhp duratec engine, modern gearbox, brakes and suspension setup. The car would also have a rear boot opening in the form the rear window raising like the TVR T350 does so that you can just drop enought luggage in for a week or so touring. The nearest thing on the market that is out there would be a BMW Z4 Coupe.

Cars that I really like and would be an inspiration to work from are:

Ginetta G4 (I know Dare still produce them but they are really only interested in exporting them abroad and I have not found one I fit into)
Lotus Elite (To rare for me to be able to afford one)
Triumph GT6 (I would love one of these but on modern running gear, Ford Zetec or Duratec engine, gearbox and brakes)
Opel GT (Yes I know it is not British, but it is a take on a British sports car)

I have had a look through some of the links on the original thread, but a good number don't work now.

Hi Norman

Glad to hear the Elise is still going great,




Chris

Just had a look at the Adrenaline Murtaya, I don't wish to be unkind but it looks a bit like MGTF meets Max Power and still does not have that great fast back styling of a Coupe IMHO. But thanks for the suggestion
