Hi Matey
if the distance to a supplier is a problem
Then it is better to go 100 miles once than go 50 miles a dozen times.
so go to MK and save a lot of messing about and traveling to get it right!!

Hi
Gman would you recommend a kit you had built having had loads of problems with the kit or the company!!
I am sure i wouldnt, all the kits have there good and bad points but having built and worked on many cars not only kitcars you form an opinion and
that is what the guy who started this thread was asking.
Personally i went to all the top kit suppliers before i bought mine and to be honest i only found one who didnt slag everybody else off,thier's
is rubbish and mine is best and all that crap.
my reply was in who's opinion,usually there own.
having been in sales for over 20 years now there is one thing these guy's should learn NEVER SLATE THE REST COS IT ONLY MEANS THEY HAVE
SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT.If they had worked for me and used that pitch they would have been sacked!!!
I have seen many nice kits out there MNR MK MAC1 to name a few but i wish people would just stop talking shite about there competitors and get on with
the job of producing a package people like.
MK and the rest have been around a while now and some people feel secure in buying tried and tested kit only time will tell for the rest and good luck
to them,after all they are only trying to make a living the same as the rest of us!

Having researched all of them, and built one, is hardly enough experience to recommend one over another...
All you will be saying is you wont go wrong building this one, not this one is the best...
It seems to me, that anybody considering a 7 style car should visit the sponsors of this forum, of whom all are shown to give good service and a good
product and choose the one of those that suits you best.
I think we can all agree that the RH is the cheapest but best avoided compared to the others here, but the MNR, MAC1 MK etc have little between them
other than fine tuning the options to suit oneself..
I narrowed mine to MNR and Luego but could easily have gone Mac or MK but for a few small requirements...

Just thought I'd put in my two penneth,
In view of your last statement you imply you think you may build more than one.
This is a reasonable assumption as there are plenty of people on here doing just that.
Now consider the losses said people are taking on their projects when they sell them, there seems to be a bit of a glut of 'sevens' on the
market and I doubt whether many people actualy cover the purchase cost of their builds let alone the labour.
If however you were to build from scratch your outlay would be significantly lower, (I estimate a fully bracketed chassis, engine mounts and wishbone
set will cost me about £150 in materials).
Bearing this in mind, when you decide to build again you can use the compopnents from the original build as required, make a new chassis and thus
greatly reduce the overall cost by not having to cope with 'depreciation'
You may even be able to sell the old chassis on to reduce costs even more.
I feel there is a limited market for 'sevens' and it's approaching/reached saturation point.
