Sorry guys but if I had a £15K budget for a toy, I wouldn't even bother looking at building a kit. I'd go for either a well sorted, second
hand Megabusa Westy or factory built Caterham (again second hand).
Yes, you could build a very nice MK, MNR, MAC#1 or whatever for £15K but with a Westy or Caterham, you're also getting the decades of
development that have gone into the car and you also have to consider re-sale values. (IMHO)

Ive considered it Phil but surely a kit car is exactly that. Something you take great pleasure in building and feel proud of the first day you take it
out for a drive.
I'm in it just as much for the build experience. Want to learn how a car is put together etc etc.
But yeah i do know what you are saying

Most definitely! The build for me was a great experience and I enjoy driving it equally as much. I'd stick 5K in the bank though and build one
for 10K (but that's just me).
