BEC or CEC

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

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 like it

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