Kit Car Wanted
Hi all,
I'm looking to buy a car soon and wondered if there were any people toying with the idea but haven't advertised, that might reply to a
thread like this. I've sent a couple of U2U's on cars mentioned in earlier threads which I plan to follow up / make some calls about over
the next day or so.
I'd prefer to keep it below £7,500 but I'm fairly open in terms of type. I would like to get back into track days (previously had an Exige
which I really enjoyed on track) and for some sunny weather runs. The only real ask is for reasonable performance, which essentially rules out
anything pinto / x-flow powered I'd imagine. I'm not too worried about aesthetics but would prefer something that didn't have too
many gremlins...
So, over to you.
Cheers
Mark

Maybe a bit more expensive than your budget.... but it was factory built too....

Also over budget, but thought I'd mention it anyway..
I'll be selling this shortly: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/forum/23/viewthread.php?tid=167149 Primarily due to the fact that I'll have
little opportunity to use the car to anywhere near it's potential this year. It's far too good to have sat in a garage gathering dust!

Hi all, thanks very much for everyone that's been in touch.
I'm still talking to a few of you (thanks for your patience) but I've managed to stretch the budget a little, and wanted to see if this
introduced any other cars that *might* be for sale? Perhaps up to £9.5k (for the right car).
Cheers
Mark
