That job is basically for the love of working for the Co. expect to demand around the £40-£45K mark so they do deserve a well qualified guy and he
gets a company car!! 
I think it's a priceless job...
I've lost touch a bit with UK salaries...how is 40 to 45K considered...poor, average, good?
Just curious?
How many kitcar manufacturers will apply you think?
Bottom end obviously, the good ones have more vision
do you think i should apply for the job
I'd love that job, its less than 5 minutes from my front door.
Its just a small matter of not having several of the attributes their looking for. Oh, and a degree in the wrong thing

yep they want somones soul
you wouldnt even get a decent tset driver for 45k
I would expect an average chief engineer doing that level of work in the automotive industry could demand easily 80 - 100K a year on top. Possibly a lot more depending on track record.
