Its an AGT Sports.

Its a prototype car that has outlived its prototype usefulness, so a very expensive car to have made.
Apparently, the builder wanted to market this and sell the kit, but i understand that this may now appear in europe / Russia first?? The design will have changed slightly by then anyway.

Its a Mid Engined (2.1L Renault) RWD pocket rocket, with some real nice design touches to the bodywork and the inside.

Really pleased with it, and looking forward to getting working on it. It needs paint, a few items tidying up etc, but the interior is mint and the car has only done 160 miles since registered!!

Anyway, happy days. Ill let you have some more photos when i take them, but ive struggled to upload so far.

Im hoping to have this ready for the SG7 meet NEXT month.





Kindest Regards,
Richard.

I would say its a Mullen M11. I saw this car in California back in 2005, it was sold as a kit. The company is still in business and you can read more about them here: http://www.mullenmotorco.com/index.html

It's funny that on their website FAQ - you know "frequently asked questions" - no one has asked what it costs? I'd expect that to be the number one question, not what color it comes in or what the 0-60 times are, lol.

Thanks for that. The log book says its called an AGT Sports, so i dont know if this is a derivative of the Mullen.

It is very cool though.

Nutsack or not, if the price was right for you then thats all that matters.
It looks really good from some angles buy has some interesting styling in some places (rear lights) - but that's the nature of kit cars - we drive cars that aren't your normal run of the mill stuff.

Looks good in darker colours though.

have fun

Yeah, it does look good in black, and the lights are corsa B.
I think ill paint it black, but ive already gor silver so i need to weigh it up really.

Anyone got any ideas where i can get software to change the colour to see what it will look like?

Richard.

I reckon you should use that slightly metallic claret colour, used by Peugeot. Looks fantastic, and will deffo enhance your whateveritis-GT thingy. Waht about the wheels?

I need to get some nice alloys for it. I like black alloy, but not sure if that will go with the paint. Ill need to do that bit last (especially as im now short on cash!)

It arrives next weekend!

Cant wait. Ive been clearing the way in the garage, to make sure it'll fit!! - but even now, im not sure it will!! A wider door might be in order!

Im hoping they tightened everything up before they transport it!! Otherwise i could end up with missing bits!

The yellow one at the shows is the Motion developements Avelle GTA based on the ST200 engine.

This I know cos I really wanted one until the murtaya came along.

Motion developements are based in rugby www.avelle-cars.com

Just checked the website and its no longer working
