The Best looking Kit Cars

[Paul Drawmer]

As ever this sort of thread produces plenty of Marmite...thankfully we are all different.

From the images so far, I really like the Ginetta, the Fury, and Libra (although I really prefer the Spyder front and definitely without spoilers.)

Here are my choices for missing gems from kit cars:

Yep, many years ago (1969ish), I guy I knew lost the use of his arm in a m/c accident.
With the compensation he bought a TVR kit.
He asked the factory if they could do the car as an automatic. ISTR that it was Ford V4, and they sent an auto box with it.
I never saw it running, I think there were many 'issues'.

If LM is on here, maybe he can fill in the gaps.

Alwyas liked the Fury and if Id have known about it Id have one of those instead of what Ive got. However Of all the 7's I like the Dax Rush so thats what I built....

I suppose I should say my MNR



but in reality I agree with 'pilbeam_mp62'. I really like the Ultima and if I had had the cash, I would have built an Ultima rather than my MNR

I always preffered the Malone Skunk to the Blackjack Zero. The arrangement with the bike engine in the front while it being rear wheel drive may be a little interesting though. But i did think that overall it looked a lot tidier.

Either fully built or what they describe as 'semi knocked down', whatever that means (the website doesn't say, it gives a list of parts but not whether they are partly assembled or not).

That's cool. My mate's brother-in-law has one and I've had a good look over it. He had that spoiler, but it was a nightmare to avoid speed-bumps so he took it off. LOL! How easy was it to build?

I like it a lot, but the rollover bar ruins it, IMHO. And it doesn't look like it would work anyway, with no braces.

Love these
