Just spotted this ad, anyone seen them in the flesh?

Looks good IMHO.

Never seen one in the flesh though.

There was a bit of discussion at Teesside the other day about dream garages. I think the consensus was:

1. Bike Engined Single Seater for Trackdays
2. Car Engined 7 for B road blatting
3. Honda Powered Elise for when it rains.
4. Big bike.

I reckon that would fill the no 1 slot perfectly!

Just need me a four storey car stacker for the back yard now!

Well that's a new one on me.

Looks like a nicely finished job with lots of hard work having gone into it.

looks a bit bulky though to be a truly competitive single seater, which must really have had the last few grammes shaved off to be competitive.

sorry if that comes across as being overly negative.

There was an article in Track and Race cars on it last year or the year before. I may still have the mag. One race-mechanic also told me that he was very impressed with them.

good, but as a dedicated track car, I can't help thinking you'd be better off finding a Jedi.

However, with a bit of work and effort, I'm sure it could be put through SVA. Probably not much good as an actual road car, but you'd be able to take it to normal track days.

So, not much use as a road car and not much use as a race car then.

Where do I sign...

A lot of sharp edges to annoy your SVA guys!

Can't you get FF for cheap second hand? If all you want is hillclimbs and track days?

Hi I have seen them. They where built to run in the 750mc formula 4 championship primarily. Some results can be found from HERE. They where done as a sort of LOCOST single seater for racing and had some degree of success in that it could run with the pack IE Van Diemen's Reynard's Mygale's and the rest of the formula 4 field.

The cars where done by a long time racer in the 750 Tim Harmmer and his farther who where both good engineers and with Tim being a racer the car was built to work and very practical.

However in terms of comparing it to a JEDI it would not cut it ultimately as a pure race car IMHO. But it was a darn fine attempt And not to be dismissed.
