Looks like the sort of canam (type of ammerican sports car, but dislexia is kicking in) car that needs a v8 sound track to go with it.
Can't amagen it with a high reving bike engine noise.

Good for you Marc!
Something different.
It might not be everyone's cup of tea but you're not selling it to fleet managers like Mondeos.
This is exactly what the British kit car industry should be doing - making cars that will appeal to "relatively" few people - because it
is different (not because it isn't any good)

hi all
we are currently finishing the chassis suspension for the new car pictured which will be at the first show, this car will be road legal and can accept
most engine alternatives
we also have the ultima type car nearing completion the picture of the first car unpainted is on our home page
best regards

Nice - a little too 'jelly mould' for my taste, but then it shouldn't have to appeal to all. good to see someone doing something
different.
And why shouldn't it be street legal ? I can't see anything initialy that would make it difficult to pass SVA....

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Marc,
Forgive me, but the ultima style car looks very very similar to a fully built car that was at exeter end of last year, is it an original body?

Stunning. Very nice motor. Has a 'new age batman gets custom Enzo' flavour. I like it a lot - well done Marc. Where the hell do you find
the time???? Do you ever sleep???? Must be something in the water near your house.
Ive thought about this again and now changed my mind - the 'ultima' type car is much better - definitely my cuppa char. Cant wait to see
the GT40 replica.

Well....
I suppose it's got 4 wheels and some lights on it just the same. I like to see different takes on the full body cars. Keep 'em coming.
edit:- Go on then Ned, it does look similar, the white one looks more bulbous at the front and the red one has a wing but apart from that they are
alike.

private example could be built for 20k..
