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

Nice 
Not sure that roll bar would do much in the unfortunate event of a roll
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

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.

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)

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.

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

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!

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.

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...
