I was under the impression Lotus did this in the 1950's
but could be wrong

Its quite an old one this (2007), but still it would have been quite amusing seeing the huge queues to SVA centers and DVLA.

What sort of jackass would try build their own car???

You could buy a Minor 1000 in kit form in the fifties as a way of avoiding purchase tax.
We have a Kia Shortage (see what I did there) which we bought cheap as a stop gap when the van went and it's still here. We like it and it does
everything it needs to quite well thank you. The engine is a 2.0 16 valve Mazda unit so no problems with that.
They're getting nervous as these http://www.dacia-logan-mcv.org/ are about to go on sale through out Europe directly targeted at Kia's
market at much cheapness.
Cheers,
