We displayed this car on our stand at Stoneliegh 2013.
JP helped Pete (the owner) with the initial build and then Pete went on to spend quite a lot of time and money on developing his Riot. It's certainly worth the asking price in my opinion (I guess I will be slightly bias tho). It's very well made with some nicely finished extras like the tonneau cover. The engine was built by a BSB specialist with plenty of attention to the drive train.

Just a note on the handling, Riot's tend not to understeer at all but will of course oversteer quickly when pushed as with many mid engine cars. With a quick rack and a good set up it's very controllable on the limits and is quite Kart like.
At speed (60mph+) there was increasing lift from the air being trapped under the front (now reduced with the new bonnet and extended floor) and also some lift from the rounded rear boot lid. The latter easily resolved with a lip spoiler or gurney.

Thanks for the kind words about the new Riot Classic too.
