Just to let you all know that we have posted up the latest engineering updates on our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/abperformanceltd. Thanks to all the regulars from Locostbuilders who have been posting their messages of support on the page - it's been a massive project and the encouragement has been greatly appreciated if you fancy a look at the page don't forget to like it while you are there and you will automatically get entered in the Sabre race and test day competition
some great bits there andy. only wish i could afford them!
any joy with the the search for a striker,phoenix etc?
have been following with interest for a while - hope your back improves!

Hey Andy - you know I'm supporting you on Facebook and everywhere else!
Keep up the cracking work, and continued brill photos!
likewise i look forward to seeing the pics every evening!
The build ups look great, some impressive laser cut bits.
What does the support on Facebook do? I see a lot of requests for 'likes' but struggle to understand how this helps...
Just looked through some more of the photos. the build looks amazing.

How are the prices looking on the gen 2? I assume more than the gen 1?
Thanks for all the comments, to answer your question Dave I intend to keep the G2 car at exactly the same price as the G1 car for as long as I can -
pressure from investors will obviously try and push it up but for the time being I think we are in a strong enough position to hold where were at.
Every time we upgraded a component I looked at the additional cost and thought about the retail price or wether we could realistically do without the
upgrade, so far 99% of the time I decided we would just reduce the margins, the car has and always will be about quality and I would rather not do it
at all than compromise. Hence the social media etc - ultimately we need to sell cars and bring the cars to people's attention and Facebook and
such like is a good vehicle - I suppose it goes along the lines of - what's the point of it all if no-one knows it's available
Best regards to you all

Highlight of my day checking out the latest piece of automotive porn on Facebook, find the project very inspiring.
Keep up the good work Andy
Cheers
Andy
It's great that the page can still be viewed by those of us not registered on FB, I am on it most days having a peep at what's going on, the
Sabre looks absolutely top class. A world away from my Westfield in terms of engineering.
In saying that I've seen a few of my tasty Westie bits appear on your page too - can't wait for them to arrive
