Westf27 on here runs a very smart one - suggest you U2U him.
Mine isn't finished yet so can't really comment on it's road-going ability.
Simon Laker runs the owners club. Both he and Peter Allen of Image Sportscars (current marque owner) are v. helpful. U2U me if you want to contact
them.
They have been raced sucessfully in a one-make series in Portugal but don't know if that still operates.
Cheers, Pewe.

Not a BEC as mine has a real engine but yep, as said they are still in production.
A good solid kit, with inboard front suspension. I am well happy with mine. It drives and handles well and feels pretty solid. Cortina based front end
is a bonus.
They were formally known as Formula 27 and later dropped to F27 along one of the changes of owner. They have standrad nose/bonnet option or a one
piece hinged front end if you prefer.
Summer's here!!!!
