Thanks for the reply. No real limit on the budget. Caterham 420 factory built to the spec I want is around £45k. This sort of restricts what I would want to pay for others. In my head they would need to be a minimum of £10k under the Caterham price. GRP is not a problem but then there's GRP and GRP. Many use glass strand mat but the quality stuff is woven glass cloth. Pre owned in the right spec is not a problem. I just feel that getting the right car at the start saves time and expense at a later date.

Good afternoon, Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. After a 15 year break from kit cars I am looking to get back into a 7 type car for occasional road use and the odd track day. I am looking for a high spec car, factory built that is basically right first time. High quality build, track focused, high quality suspension / brakes, around 220 bhp (car engine), straight cut gearbox, LSD, full cage, plumbed in fire extinguisher, aero screen and tonneau cover. Over the past couple of months, I have contacted a couple of companies both were not able to commit to any new builds – one of these was since purchased by another company. Cars currently on the list: Caterham 420 – no real challenge and you get what’s on the list and although it’s very good it’s also very similar to every other Caterham 420. Westfield AeroRace – restricted to the 170 bhp Zetec (not really a problem) but limited options for factory fit parts like straight cut gears. Tiger Racing R10 – Tiger seemed to be on a high 15 years ago but no idea where they are now. I like the engineering behind the car and their rugged purposeful stance but not particularly keen on the steel Sierra uprights / hubs especially on a build costing over £30K. Will bespoke parts like chassis and body panels still be available in 10 years??
