Only what I've read, you would have to be 100% committed to get that of the ground with not much money around. Good project for someone though. I think the seller could have done with a few more pics.

I am looking for ideas for an business venture as my time is nearly up in the army so gotta look for something to do that is most ptobably bit too much for me to take on though

[aliwizard]

not a bad looking car ,but makes me think why mev sold it on in the first place,there current cars sell well ,did they see something in this one to make them think it was not going to do well,nearly all there current cars are exo based,i think you could sell a few but as always these thinks are not cheap to get off the ground,and it is already a few years old so a few body tweeks are in order to make it more modern looking.allso different engine options,car and bike ect.it would be a brave person to take it on .

[stupott901]

Thanks Aliwizard for your feedback, it just looked like an interesting project once i was retired from the army but by the looks it has been sold or he has taken it off ebay, its just the sort of thing i want to get into once my time up in the army

cheers stu

Saw the car and met the driver at Llandow. It was one of fastest (if not the fastest) car there and handled like it was on rails - very impressive.

I second what Phil has said, at Llandow there was a Radical on track and Robins ASBO was all over the back of him.  On the strength of that I got Robin involved in the Stroke Association Day and because the car looked like an Aerial Atom with performance to match, he had a steady stream of punters all day.  I have Robins email so PM me if you would like to make contact with him.

[Hairy Santa]

Yes I noticed the speed of that car and was wondering how he was keeping up with it, it seeming to be one of the quickest cars out there
I went down to look at the radical and was told they were having problems with the turbo

['The Gaffer']

I got the impression that the radical guys were just making excuses. That asbo really was a well set up and fast car.

[stupott901]

Yeah that sounds pretty good yeah i read about in the mag be just the sort of thing id like to do
