There's quite a wide variety of cars available now, with most of them being of a much higher standard than, say, 20- or even 10 years ago. Back then, in the heyday of Duttons, Eagles, Nova etc, building the kit could end up becoming a complete nightmare (With Duttons, the nightmare can continue for many years after the build- I'm the 8'th owner of mine, and it's only 17 years old....)
Kit sports cars arn't the cheap option they used to be with competitipon from the likes of second-hand MX5's MGF's and the new MR2 etc, but I still think they have a good 'Fun Per Pound' ratio.
Have a look at
www.kit-cars.com to see what the UK market offers.
We currently have two kits- a Vincent Hurricane and a Dutton Sierra, both bought second-hand, the Hurricane was bought eight years ago from the chap who built it.- would anyone like to see pics of these two?
My main gripe with the kit industry at the moment: too many replica's, not enough origional designs.
