AB Performance Fury dealership
Andy B - 13/2/11 at 04:08 PM

Like you guys and girls to be the first in the know so here goes.
Many of you will be aware that the Fury project has been sold to Steve Hughes who has pretty much been involved with Fury since the early days. Following discussions with Steve last week AB Performance will be taking on the role as a dealer for Fury Sportscars. We will be able to supply everything from parts to complete turnkey cars. Due to my firm belief in sticking with what you know best we will be concentating on the BEC variants but will be able to supply all of the generic Fury components.
The plan is, in conjunction with Steve, pick up the development of the car based on owner feedback much in the same way we did with the Striker.
There is a little work to do yet with Steve concentrating on new body tooling and chassis jigs but we hope to be in a position to speed up parts supply, development of new products and generally improve things as much as possible over the next month.
As a dealer our price structure will mirror the factories and we aim to offer as much trackside support as possible
Best regards
Andy

Ou of interest will you still a Raw dealer too?


Andy B - 13/2/11 at 04:22 PM

Obviously Raw has recently changed hands and it will be up to the new lads to decide if they wish us to continue as we were with Mel, I hope so as I have a particular soft spot for the Striker and have achieved a lot with the Striker Race cars, whatever happens we will continue to support and assist Striker owners as we have done up until now, we see the the Fury as an addition to the stable here giving us a well proven 7 with the Striker, a thoroughly tried and tested full bodied car in the Fury and a mid engined LMP style car in the Sabre, so hopefully something for everyones tastes.
Regards
Andy

Good luck Andy, would love to hear what thoughts you have in the pipeline for the fury


adithorp - 14/2/11 at 06:47 PM

Sounds good Andy. Do you know what Steve has planned for the body? Is it just remaking the existing ones without damage they've developed over the years or does he have something else in mind?.. or is it top secret?

My understanding is that there are styling changes as well as a tidying up of the moulds.

Thats what I've understood reading between the lines. I'm holding off repairing my body work and having a respray untill I see it. The damage is cosmetic enough to do till next year.
