Look what else they are selling LINKY LINK

They have been carping on about this car for years. It's rubbish as far as I am concerned.

I agree, lots of hype too early on. I originally liked the idea of an updated Se7en, but when one of the kit car magazines did a review of the car, and photoshopped the pictures to make it look like it was moving, when the brake discs were rusty as .....! I lost interest. And who has £40,000 to spend on a Se7en, completely misses the point if you ask me.

I saw it in the garage during the hook-up with STM. Looks alright but 40 large? Got to be joking!!!! If I wanted a fairly expensive new take on the Lotus / Cateringvan 7 I'd get an Elise....

I saw the mock up at donnington and loved it. It was mostly due to the blue/silver two tone paint. In one colour it doens't look anything special.

£40k? [insert Sid James laugh here]

One of the kit car mags did a review of this green car a few months ago. They weren't very complimentary, which is unusual, pointing out a few significant styling problems. One was the length of steering rack/cowling between the wheel and the dash - they said that it looked unplanned and unfinished; when I saw it at Newark I had to agree with them.

I'm not fond of 'updated classics': either leave the classics alone, or design something new and original.

Oh dear it is just a little bit over priced for a rebodied ST locost.

And when they finished with it the handelling was worse. A bit like the arieal atom over priced quirkey styling ( for some ) and poor handeling. Give me a caterham for that money anyday.

I was going to ask whether it was still an IRS STM Locost chassis underneath, I guess so?!! If so, in reality you're paying about £20k for the bodywork assuming the engine is actually pretty pricey.

Hi makes the caterham 260csr actually seem a good price in comparison as it's only £39500 leaving £500 to buy spare pants.

Still a bit pricey considering the engine would be around 12 to 13k.

Working on that basis mine would be a lot quicker than that at around 15 - 18k to build.

And the lump is a genuine cossie lump with a T31 Turbo and actuator plus the rest of the gubbins around 330 plus bhp.

Can never work out how these guys can put such a high price tag on such things, it baffles me.
