Bit of an open question that  The short answer would be .... bloody expensive!
They are certainly one of the best kits available but are beginning to look a bit dated now imho.

I think it's all rellative - what's good for £50k?
You could get a TVR Sagaris for the same money (plus use the axtra few hundred quid change to get a good RAC membership!)

TLC being tender loving care, or takes loads o'cash? Might be best to go have a look before doing anything.

Looks ok but it's difficult to tell from the single picture. What would put me off are the words This is a sold as seen project that requires
substantial TLC. The car hasn't been driven for around 3 years.
If you're interested, it's definitely worth looking at in the flesh before you make a decision but try and take someone along who has some
experience of these types of car. Preferably building them.

depends what you want the car for & how much you want to spend. I've seen some excellent ones that must have cost an absolute fortune.
Personally, i'd love one as long as i could do something with the mirrors (i hate them, the can-am had much nicer mirrors).
Talk to NS Dev he's mates with the owner! (which means he'll be completely unbiased, esp as he goes to Le Mans with him in an Ultima every
year)

As with any kit, the build quality is crucial and the only way you are going to find out how good it really is will be to have a good poke around and
ask lots of questions. As for mechanical condition, just bear in mind that if that engine and/or gearbox needs an overhaul you can say goodbye to over
£5k quite easily. Tyres (if they are worn) will cost an arm and a couple of legs.
The owner will have probably spent over £40k to get to that level so for the price it is certainly worth a closer look.

You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

That seems a bit harsh especially since he gave you first refusal. Gutted as I wanted a ride in it!

Is there a plan B, or too pissed to think about it right now?
PS, I'd hit someone fairly hard for that car at that money too!

Heh heh, buy the TVR then LOL!!!!
Hmmmm, Ultima, faster by several country miles, and more reliable by even more country miles.............................. that is like comparing a
suzuki baleno to a BMW m3 and saying the suzuki is good value because its a car with doors!
