So after the last few months of searching for the right kitcar, I've come to the conclusion i really want a BEC.
However, still open to a CEC if it caught my eye.
Half built projects, or cars needing some TLC would be great. As it would give me something to do over winter (and more chance of a bargain)
After viewing ebay/gumtree etc religiously for the last 3 months, it does seem to be a buyers market, and i have missed out on some real bargains.
Much to my annoyance. And i really don't want to spend much more the 5K.
But please get in touch if you think we can do a deal.
Surely if you say you want a project for over winter it would be ideal?
Doesn't matter if you blow your budget buying it now,surely you can afford to spend circa £5-600 over the winter months getting it IVA ready?
Then it's just the IVA fee in the spring?
Surely if it was that easy, the currant owner would have done it and stuck 2k on the price.. (does look very nice though)
Mick - I sometime think i enjoy the chase more than the kill (so my family tell me)
I'll find the right one soon.

So you are expecting to buy a car for 5 grand that the likely hood is someone's built it in there garage and it won't cost you any money
to keep it roadworthy?
Just a shame they are both the furthest possible distance from me..
I don't think im being unreasonable..

you probably don't want to do this, but when the only v8 Xtreme came up for sale, I bought it blind and fingers crossed. someone from shiply
couriered it for me..
might be worth a gamble on the scotland ones and a few hundred quid delivery ? !
My Fisher Fury will be for sale shortly, or immediately if you prefer. I planned to get it MOTd then sell, but if you wanted to take it as-is
that's fine by me. £4795 as it is now, or £4995 with 12 months MOT.
Currently not MOTd but has a V5 and has been on the road before. I have all the bits with it, just needs headlight switch wiring in (headlights are
in, wiring is done), fog light fitting, speedo fitting, mirrors fitting and away you go. 919 blade engine with stick shift, shift lights, baffled /
billet sump (top gauge on video below is oil pressure - holds 5bar even at ~1.4g), fresh Fuchs Pro4 fully synth 15w50 oil and filter, clutch pedal
ratio modified to give a much more forgiving bite point (easier to pull away and smoother downshifts), Bailey Morris prop (modified by NorthWest
Propshafts), live axle, helical LSD with 3.54 ratio, CXR wheels with almost new A048Rs, GRP seats with adjustable drivers headrest, Momo suede wheel
(nice and fresh, not old and crusty), decent quality 4 point turnbuckle harnesses on both sides, full cage, 4 pot brakes all round (Wilwood front,
HiSpec rear) with bias bar and adjustable brake bias in cockpit, go kart calipers and modified MX-5 lever for handbrake, Avo dampers, front splitter,
custom fitted cover, low-line full cage with extra hoop (I'm 5ft9 for reference). Also have a spare 919 engine with what looks to be a
reconditioned head that can go for £500 with the car if wanted.
Bad bits: Weird paintjob, panhard rod mount on chassis has been rewelded by someone recently and not re-painted yet, the odd gelcoat crack and dodgy
headlight covers as is normal for these, but it's all very functional. Wiring behind the dash is a tangled mess, but is labelled up and works
fine.
My feeling is it could be exactly what you're after... works as it is, but scope to tinker and improve value if you wish.
Only have the two pics from a track day last week, but can get more if you like.
