why a mac#1 only? im sure there are others available in a similar price range!

I very nearly bought the car in the link above.I was very impressed with the mac#1, this example is well put together and I was impressed with how low you sit in the cockpit.If you are looking for a mac#1 this is definitely worth a look.

Are you looking to build or buy a completed one?

i had dax rush 8 years ago and it was stolen and burnt out, they had the vulcan pinto, lsd, gear box out of it and burned it out i was gutted. it's taken till now too have a look at a kit car agian. i like the look off the mac#1 but main reason is i live near the factory and after having kids im looking for a basic entry level that's already on the road that i can make my own

im looking at buying a mac#1 2005 fairly standard average condition standard pinto what should i pay for this ?

Value wise I would say around £4500/£5000 for a good pinto Mac1, they are a great bit of kit, with great customer service and back up from Mark and Colin, ive never owned a Mac1, but they have helped me out a few times now over the years with my MK Indys and more recently my Aries, but I would advise you to pay a bit more, and look for a Zetec powered car or a Bike engined Mac1

Just my personal opinion, but if looking at a more modern seven type car, and a budget of around £4-6k, then isn't a Pinto a bit of a downgrade? I would think a Zetec if wanting a car engined seven, or a bike engined one would be better for the money. Just my opinion.

In terms of the Mac#1 they are great cars, and like 'Paul Fisher' says, Colin and Mark at Mac#1 are always on hand to help with parts and advice etc. Just building a Mac#1 Worx myself with a ZX10R Turbo engine to go in it

I think ur probs talking about the white one for sale, i was showing interest in this too but considering the cost to change the pinto engine to a more modern zetec 170 or bike engine would end up spending in total about 8k given theres no surprise costly problems along the way. its made me consider waiting to save up for a car thats already 90% what im looking for. unless u get a really good deal and say get it for 3ish grand.

Firstly speak with mac#1 and register up ye interest in a 2nd hand one and see if they have any thoughts

The cars are great but I can't comment for everyone which people have messed with.

Great car, not the cheapest but good value for money.

Just one word of warning. Mac#1 had by far the best customer service and brutal honesty about cars, upgrades etc.

They have helped me loads but not always like the answer they gave although they are always right


Grrrrrrr
