vanwall anyone?
Dunno how they intend these to pass sva
or how deep your pockets would need to be,
but if i won the lottery, one of these would be parked between the locost and the Ferrari, or maybe between the Ferrari and the Range Rover or
maybe........ you get the idea.

It wouldn't pass SVA in the configuration shown in the pictures - the front indicators aren't visible from the correct angles, and that
gearchange mechanism wouldn't pass the radius gauge!
I can't take it seriously - I'd rather have a real Vanwall and run it on a track, than that mongrel. Still - each to their own
tastes...

I wonder if this is similar to what the Cateringvan afficionados say about locosts...

I like any car that describes its 0-60 time as adequate.

Are those cycle guards really just sections of old tyre treads?

He did own Ronart ( what a car that was ). Bound to be good. I remember watching Clarkson ranting about how good the Ronart was. If you dig deeper on
the website it tells you what happened to the car/company. Damn shame I think. I would love to have owned one.

And where are they built?
Thaaats right, PETERBOROUGH, otherwise known as wherethef***sthat by most of Britain. We've got Vanwall, Radical Motorsport, AK sportscars
(Cobra reps), Tiger SPortscars not far away. Lets have more sports car manufacturers here please, then when I win the lottery I won't have to
bother my arse to go far to spend it
