Hi,

A guy got a Cross Supersport with Redtop 175bhp for sale, 2 previous oners 6000ono. Anybody ever heard of this kit or make of Lotus 7 tyle car?

Cheers

Any pics? Don't recognise the name

Presumably just what the builder registered a locost or other kit as?
But happy to be proved wrong

I think its a bit rough for £6k. Looks like its been stored outside.

Yeah that's the one. Seller seems OK says got loads of paperwork. I won't pay 6k for it, got Capri brakes all round, original donor was mk2 escort which has been replaced. Motors done 5400 since rebuild. Might look at but cannot find any info on Cross.

Cheers

Looks locost

When you register a kit you can call it what you like (within reason!!), so my guess would be it was built by a Mr Cross (perhaps a relation to Mr Angry!) & he decided to call it a Supersport like a Caterham Supersport, hence Cross Supersport

That's what I thought, but speaking to the seller he has an official brochure from Cross for the Supersport. Searched the net but cannot find any info.

Thanks
