its better.
Even better still if you put body work onto it.

I may be slightly biased though

They're supposed to be an excellent handling car. I'll probably build one after this one for a track toy

Compare well with other sevens. They're tiny though. Older brother of the pheonix and cousin to the Fury, Stylus, etc. That looks cheap so far.

Naked older brother, I'd say. Chassis is identical

Or ugly twin... well maybe not ugly, but not the pretty one.

If your after a better handling version of a great handling car then aim for a IRS version.

the live axle wont be far of an a smooth track though. depends what your use will be. just had my first drive out today since the end of august in mine and it certainly reminded me how lively a live axle is on bumpy roads. good fun though

adrian, you can't see it from the drivers seat so who cares about looks have you any trackdays planned this year?

You either hate it or love it.

I know what I do

Very tiny though compared to other kitcars around. Don't expect it to be luxurious or comfortable. It's back to basics with a striker.

And light too, mine is a live axle one and weighs exactly 500kg on 13" wheels and without windscreen.

the reserve was something around 7000,-pound and the seller expected a "bit" more.....finally it was sold for around 6800,-.... still too much,imo, but the car is realy nice.

would have been good for export as it had a 79 reg date, but i think the modern engine let the foreign people off buying it.

originally the car was equiped with a x/flow!!!
