sweet

can't help thinking that you'd need £10K+ in the bank to build one though

Just in case you missed this



Latest pic of Jeremy's Spectre.

Nice

Not sure that roll bar would do much in the unfortunate event of a roll


jeffw - 6/10/09 at 06:40 AM

Yeap....that is the only Spectre with that rollbar. All the other cars sold so far (seven I think) have a full hoop & back stays or full cage.

You can't be in love, she's mine, all mine!

Tim is building one for RGB racing next season to replace his RGB Fury!

Really interesting reading as ever!

I think Tim's a member on here as well.

That's just an MX5, isn't it!

Compared with what ? This car is the prototype and JP likes the retro look. You can bling the interior to make is more modern if you wanted to....

I don't think it looks cheap (or cheep)


Hammerhead - 6/10/09 at 10:00 AM

I like the car and had a good look at it at a show this year. My personal opinion is that its not quite there with the styling, although a very good effort at a lola t70 type design.
If it comes in at 10K ish i'd be looking at an elise as an alternative.

To sum up, I like it sort of

Steve.


franky - 6/10/09 at 10:05 AM

But an Elise is a poorly made bit of plastic. 10k would get you an old one with a rubbish engine IMO.

If you can build one of these to a nice spec for 10k then its cheaper than a MNR/DAX/MK etc. And from a very proven chassis designer.

Oh it looks just a little better than the above too


jeffw - 6/10/09 at 10:27 AM

This is always the arguement....at £10K you could have a Porsche 968, VX220, Elise or even a Audi RS4 plus any number of completed kit cars. If that was the choice then nobody would ever build a kit.

beat me to it!!! Will be great to see a new "kit" (rather than 1 off) car on the grid which we all have access to build from a kit!


iank - 6/10/09 at 11:20 AM

You can buy a nice secondhand sportscar for much less than it costs to build your own kit, it may even be more reliable and quicker in a straight line.

It's unlikely to be quicker round a track pound for pound than a focused kit though.

Most of the fun in a kitcar is building them IMO, just look how many people sell their car less than a year after building and start on another.


MikeR - 6/10/09 at 11:50 AM

I really, really like it - and like the look of the single (completely useless) roll hoop.

Indeed I am. Progress is glacially slow at the moment thoiuigh as we're still in the middle of race season. Then it's going to get cold in the garage...
