A mate of mines looking for a bike engined kit car, but it's got to be in the locost bracket, and with idealy a hard top, or a soft top roof as a mimimum, any ideas?

Search on this site for Striker Blade - one was for sale for £4K a couple of days ago.........

If he wants a tin top perhaps a Z Cars Mini? http://www.zcars.org.uk/ 5 grand plus Mini plus motorcycle engine.

Theres a cheap Fury on Pistonheads has wet weather gear.

LINKY

Ripe for a BEC conversion.

I'd suggest he goes for a Fury or something similar like Jim has suggested. Wet weather gear adds a lot of weight to a BEC. Combine this with the aerodynamics of a seven style car and I doubt he'd really benefit from fitting a bike engine (I can't actually believe I said that )
