Hi all,
just found these people, looks nicely made
http://www.sdrsportscars.co.uk/theCar.html
anyone heard of them?
I had heard the name but never seen the cars. They look pretty good
Looks very nice!
I looked at it at Donnington, some good ideas and looked to be well manufactured but it was not complete and looking at the web site there doesnt seem
to be a finished car yet.They were taking orders, i cant remeber the price but it wasnt cheap and I would be suprised if anyone bought one before
seeing a finshed car.
Paul.
^^^^ Agreed on all of the above. The 3 seater approach caught my eye at Donnington but the car was not finished. Seems a strange concept really having 3 seats in a BEC - all that extra weight from a lardy extra passenger. Would be worth a visit though - not sure where they are though and couldnt see it on the website.
They are in Lancs, spoke to their director Simon at one of the shows & since when supplying them some flexy hoses - they are using a Wilwood
setup. I believe Simon is pretty much a "one man band" but quality & attitude seems good. Interesting choice of engine, may be torquier
than some bike lumps.
When people talk about 150 bhp of bike power struggling to pull 3 up, I think perhaps we should remember the 850cc Mini - weighed around 600kg &
had about 35bhp IIRC
I had one & had enormous fun with it, sometimes carrying 4 passengers + me - I'm sure the SDR would be a wee bit
quicker!!
Edited to say I think they have got a few chassis sold.

"So Nitram38 is sdr? "
What makes you say that? Nitram is Martin & he's in Mitcham not Lancs!!
