I have a few personal things going on at the moment plus a few more project ideas.
I've put the car up for sale on ebay after the article in Complete Kitcar.
Yes it is Hicost!

I like it. but hey i'm building a locost not because i'm having much money 
I think it's better value cause it is fun for two, instead of the F1-look-a-like.
Please feel free to correct my bad English, i'm still learning. Your Dutch is awfull! :-)

I think the F1-2 was a 2 seater wasnt it?

I know this will get a lot of criticism, but whoever buys it at that price wants their head looking at, far too much.

Everyones thinking it, few were willing to speak it!
Very nice car, but you could get a nice Sagaris for similar cash...

or under £29k and get it next
week. They're older cars but better engines and with the much coveted Ariel marque.
I think its an awesome car though, good luck with the sale however it goes. You built it, you can ask for as much as you like considering all the
design work etc, I just hope the smaller engine and lack of "brand" doesn't put people off considering the cost.

My ad does say offers. I think that you should always put down higher than you want.
You don't know with cars. There are non-builders out there with unlimited funds who buy things out of convienence. I have to try.
It seems a good opportunity to sell considering the newness, low mileage and mag write-up.

Good luck with it, considering the amount of time that went into it, its probably good value....
Are you going to put it on Pistonheads, might get a more discerning audience there... also if you want to get it gone, Sovereign cars will definitely
take it off you, though probably for much less than you want....

Good luck with it.
No doubt one of the best home-built projects I've seen.
Of course, on top of the sale price, I'd have to pay someone to strip it, have it powdercoated and reassembled. :p

I doubt I'd want to spend that amount of cash if the seller can't be bothered to take some nice piccies for the listing. I know serious
buyers would want to look at the car before buying but first impressions last.....
I'll put my money back down the back of the sofa......

I'm a bit lost about the photo comment? I've put up about 7 images all of which you can enlarge. You can even read the article, they are
so big

Bugger! Quite fancied seeing this in the flesh before it went too after seeing it built and all the updates.

It probably won't go for a while, but considering the mag I thought it was worth a punt!
