Looks like it's spent quite a long time beneath a tarpaulin in someone's back garden, and the price is quite optomistic considering the amount of stuff that still needs to be bought, including the windscreen , but it does have a certain je ne sais quoi.

I don't have the time at the moment, but if it is still availble in a few months time I think I would go and have a look. What do you guys think?

3.5K.... for that!.... No thankyou!

Considering it has a cossie engine which can fetch £1500-£2000 on Ebay I dont think the price is too bad.

He really should be open to offers of around £3000 though considering the overall condition of the kit components.

He considers the car in the pictures finished?????

"The Kamala Kit Car is a high performance Kit Car, The picture you see is a finished car and not the car for sale"

as above lots of potential and not that excessive price, may be worth looking what they worth/sell for when completed as they are ment to be quite good, only problems may have is any orignal parts you need to finish and SVA compatable

Considering Kamala is the name of the car and not the manufacturer, (Dax), how come Kamala fitted the bodywork??

There are indeed Cossie engines that fetch £1500-£2000.

But then there are also Cossie engines that are worth nowhere near that.

This one, I suspect, falls firmly in the latter!

But yes Mr H... an interesting project (at the right price - £2k - £2.5k Max!).
