New Project
Hi,
As I have just sold the Veinto I'm looking for a new project. I'm after some ideas of what to build?
Criteria as follows:-
Preferably something with a windscreen and roof.
Upto about £20000 to complete the build.
Would consider a part built.
I open to any ideas but not a seven as I have done that now.
Cheers
Mark

Fury, you can get a very nice one built for Half your Budget!
spend the other 10 k on a nice holiday!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

With a budget of £20k you must be into Cobra replica territory (if that floats your boat).

Buy Razmans Aeon off him! (& make him happy!)
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Buy a TVR Sag or t350 with body damage.... get a BMW straight 6 engine from an M series car.... add the two together with some cunning bodyowkr
mods and you have something quite special 
I recon for 20K you could build an absolute mint monster!

Look, save yourself all this deciding rubbish. Give me the money and I'll take all that stress and worry off your hands, and you can rest
assured in the knowledge that I will have all the hassle of deciding what to do with the lolly
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

or a steel one http://www.minisprint.eu/

For £20k I'd be looking at a GT40 replica.
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

that for the ideas gents.
I think a descent cobra or gt40 would cost a lot more than £20000.
I do like the votrex and it build quality but I think it needs to be a bit more aggressive to make it special.
Cheers
Mark
