With the spiraling cost of my current car's insurance, having a large amount of spare time, an urge to create something and my brother already building a kit car I am tempted to start myself.

I was tempted by the bright lights and low cost of the Avon (and maybe a little from the name Tiger as even a few of my brothers friends who own Westfields seem to rate them).... but from what I am reading this may seem a less than brilliant choice.

I was hoping that I could get many of the bits and pieces from Tiger in their kits as to keep things ticking over and lessening the pain of sourcing them (I know that this is a more expensive option).

Is this a foulish plan?
Are there beter options?

All info greatfully recieved.

You can buy it all from Tiger - very expensive, You can make it all yourself - Cheaper, but as far as I can see you'd be a pioneer, I don't *think*anyones done it this way.

Or anywhere in between.

maybe you should look at MK, Stuart Taylor or Luego as alternatives, but in the end it depends how much you've got to spend Caterhams at the top end price wise down to building your own Locost from scratch.

HTH
