Me thinks that's £3k for a modified front subframe and a chain diff. Which won't matter as you'll probably knacker the engine as
it's sat 180 degree off of where it's menat to be, so presumably oiling will be a problem.
Oh, and someone spelt aluminium wrong too.
If however it was all new tubualr stuff, with new wishbones etc, then I may think about it. As it is, it's too expensive for my tastes.

Nope, the engine leans forwards in the bike, rather than backwards as it does in the subframe.
Also, is it me, or are there two chain runs in those pics? Ie one of the sprocket, then another to make it go the right way? Or am I just seeing
things and the diff is a weird one that runs the other way/is flipped?

Hello,
The prototype car has been on the road for three years, there have been no problems with oiling that I've heard
There is one chain, the drive is corrected using pinion and crownwheel of the mini gearbox, so its all running the correct way
Cheers

And you have to provide the subframe for them to modify, seems a bit steep to me.
