It has a look of R_Sy's golf cart, but in a better colour.  :evilgrin:

That doesn't seem a lot of money at all for a genuine Touring car!!

That is immense. A complete bargain considering the build cost on a BTCC car.

Most of which is probably the engine, which this doesn't have...

Mostly the 500-600 hours labour to prep/weld the shell.  :happy2:

Well second hand BTCC cars usually sell for 50 grand or more, suggesting the engine (and gearbox, I just noticed this has a manual) must account for over half the cost?

Great for a track car, but I would rather worm the dog (By hand) than be seen driving that on a public road  :P

It still has everything else except the engine. The suspension alone would be a fair chunk along with the brakes etc.

Not really. Quite a lot of the current BTCC cars use off the shelf suspension kits probably due to them being based on production cars.

Brakes see Prof. Friction.  :wink:
