Is this a kit?
To my suprise I still had memory card capacity after snapping Miss Newark, so I took some pictures of cars that caught my eye.
Does anyone know what this is? Do you think its scratchbuilt?

UVA Fugitive.
Built by UVA - the unique Vehicle and Accessory company in the 80s. They eventually did a mid mounted V8 version called the F33 can am. This is an
original fugitive - originally conceived as a sand rail. There was also a 4 seater still with the rear mounted beetle engine.

I was very taken by this car, dont know how hard I would wish to corner in it tho'.
I would have thought a V8 in the back would make it quite wheelie prone. Before you even start the engine!
Are they worth much?

Answer to my last question: No they are not worth much.
http://www.fugitives.co.uk looks a good website if you like this sort of thing.

Hyabusa in the back would be very interesting.Always fancied one when they first came out but kids put a stop to that

It looks like a V6 Alfa engine in the back rather than V8. Looks like a lot of fun.
From Cleveland as well, only 30 miles ish from me. I might have to check them out.

The Locost on the left (ERB) looks familiar,my neighbour Rob Lane I believe!
Once I've finished a project why do I start another?
