There seemed to be a wee bit of interest in the pics, so here is the first video 'walk round' of the car.

I like it apart from the wheel arches. Why do none of his designs have arches that follow the wheel?

It looks stunning, nearly as nice as a Phoenix! The back is not as good though. I am not sure about the problem with the wheel arches. At least the arches fit neatly over the wheels which is more than a few manufacturers can do.
It'll be a cracker.

I like it but i dont like that roll over hoop. I would not like to be upside down in a field with only that for protection.

I know what you mean, but personally I don't dislike it at all.

I think it's Jeremy's own personal Hofmeister Kink

And I actually mean that.

And yes - the roll bar need bracing.
Zil's own preference is for steel working in tension, so that'll be a Petty strut for me then - right into the front corner of the passenger footwell and they can make their own arrangements for their legs..

After the beautiful front it's a bit of a shocker when one pans around to see that ugly rear end.

... like many wimmen I know.

I'd still like one though ...

I like it - back end is not ideal but perhaps better than the Lotus 23.
I could see myself buying one of these

I really like the back end. It's almost a kamm tail.
I'm just hoping I can fit in one, it's definitely top of my list.

I like it too.

Except for the passenger seat, that made me think of a Porsche Boxster.

Needs some form of headrest for rear shunts.

And the prices are announced.

that's gonna cost nearly 10K :
full kit : 6000
extra bits 2000
paint 1000
other ?

Lot of 7's run to £7-10k by time they're finished, so while not a budget build, also not mad prices for a full body. I was expecting prices £1-3k above kits of comparable quality and it seems to be in that range.
