BEC or CEC
YODI - 19/9/11 at 10:01 AM

Hi all,

So my trusty old Mk1 Escort has sold and I'm now on the lookout for a kit car.

Ideally I'd like a BEC but anything will be considered, budget is circa 4k so i'm not expecting a brand new car and am very realistic in what I will get but I know that there are cars out there for that money.

I don't mind anything needing work, anywork is ok from bodywork to a blown engine or even an incomplete project if the price reflects.

I'm based in North London, so nothing in Scotland please

Thanks, Yodi

Not sure if Ned's is still for sale but it would make a cracking project;

This should give you a good idea of what you can get for your money. ebay

Also if your not in a hurry, wait a couple of months, as with any soft top, the prices will fall dramaticly over the winter
and rise again when the sun starts shining
about 2034 then!!

Thanks Guys

I search ebay newly listed all the time and have seen every kit car within my budget on ebay over the last two weeks.

Im not in a desperate hurry but would be nice to have something to start working on soon, so not really prepared to wait.

I will look at Neds advert now, thanks for the link

Hi,

I have a STM Phoenix which I have been building for the BEC series but have decided to sell due to other commitments.
The car is unfinished but I have most of the parts to complete it.
It has a round tube race chassis with a built in full roll cage, light weight bodywork and a dry sumped Blackbird motor.
I have receipts for +- £11000 am asking £5000ish.
Let me know if you are interested and I can send a few photo's and full spec.

Cheers

Hi

There's a very tidy Striker on Pistonheads (Classifieds, Kit Cars, Sylva) for under your budget, been on there about a week.

I glad it's NTDWY because that's pig ugly, of course in my opinion only but thats not what I'm after at all

Norfolkluegojnr - 19/9/11 at 02:15 PM

I like it

needs a roll bar, but i think that was included.

Beauty is very subjective it seems.......

I know, from one end of the scale to the other lol but the opportunity came up so I took it.
