There prices look very good.
This what they sent me.

famous Ron Champion book as a build guide. All components are of excellent quality, a solid basis for any project!

well, i would recommend going to their warehouses/factory to see for yourself. And obviously only pay cash on collection. There are loads of people on
the lash via ebay, no point making it easy for them...

The price isn't that keen if you compare like for like with the other manufacturers.
Bare in mind that most manufacturers advertise a much more comprehensive kit than this including bodywork etc. If you add the missing parts to the
£999, you start getting close.
Also the "book" stuff is pretty out of date these days. Anyone building to the book will tell you how many things need improving and this
is what most of the main manufacturers have done. The likes of the GTS, Velocity and Indy have moved things on somewhat from this, and as such
probably represent better or at least equal value for money.
Kind regards,
Darren
