At the danger of being accused of resurrecting an old thread I have only just found this one and wanted to contribute.
Admittedly the Vindicator is not the prettiest of LSIS cars but they are the only company to offer a 4 seat kitcar that is sporty looking and doesnt
look like a eurobox or an old fashioned roadster.
In addition to this it doesnt require the old floorpan of a production car which could be suspect. It has a triangulated spaceframe chassis, offers
excellent legroom ( i'm 6'4 and well padded and can put the seat in my driving position and leave enough legroom in the back for an adult
to sit comfortably) and whatever anyone else says it it recognisable as a seven style car.
The People in bobble hats on the Vindicator website referred to earlier in this thread I think is probably me and my family if its the bright orange
hat.. It isnt a bobble hat its a thinsulate ski hat, and it matches my car. It was required attire for testing the car as it was december the 28th
when that picture was taken and the weather was not exactly tropical.
I have 2 children now aged 6 & 8 and they love the idea of the car, which has been christened Tango, and cant wait to go out in it. I wanted a
"sporty" kitcar however the wife was insistant that it had to have 4 seats. Several companies frowned on this idea when spoken to at
shows and one even went so far as to say to me " why build a 4 seat kitcar men with families dont have any spare cash", then I spoke to
John at Vindicator and he was open to the idea. There were several discussion with John at Vindicator, i wanted a 4 seat shadow but after some time
it transpired that it would technically difficult and quite expensive to develop. So discussion turned to the Sprint. This after a few months the
Sprint family was born. I would like to think i was at least some way instrumental in the family being born and was also the second person to order
one, as soon as the financial situation allowed ie the money for the deposit was saved following a change of job and car.
