This car is Seriously Awesome
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4574700140&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:UK:1
This car is absolutely awesome and road legal!! 
I was involved with the design and initial construction, and have also driven it on the road. I have seen it accurately record a 0 to 60mph time of
3.6seconds. "Big Grin" factor!!
Regards,
Ken.

What engine have you got in it? £4k sounds very cheap for a car with that performance!

Renault 5 Turbo with fuel injection & water injection on high boost (25 PSI). Charge cooler, trick cam etc. etc.
The best bit is the handling, it's like driving on rails and it's road legal!!

They aren't very photogenic, but look quite pretty in the flesh!

Been in that Mojo (the car Mark) and it is astonishingly quick.

Don't be silly, Mojos are pink and yellow and chewy.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Mark,
I fitted in the passenger side - just.
As for driving it - absolutely impossible.
Why do kit car designers manage to exclude so many potential buyers by making the cockpit so small? People are getting larger,which makes you a bit of
a throw back...

Certainly looks like everyone is getting bigger/longer so think maybe you have a good point there....is it the length in the cockpit or the fact you
need to have race boots and size 5 feet to actually hit the right pedal?
