I am wanting a change from the scooby ! too many of them around at the minute. I fancy something a bit different so i am thinking about a replica car of either of the following:

Ferrari 355
Ferrari F40
Lamborghini Diablo

Does anyone on here have any experience with kit cars or maybe even owns one of these cars and can give me some information ?

I had a Ferrari Testarossa based on a Pontiac Fiero.

It looked the b0ll0cks and was pretty fast. Insurance was cheap but getting spares was a bit harder and left hand drive was a pain.

Look for something like a Ferrari 355 kit based on a MR2 Turbo. If you search Autotrader for Ferrari's there are usually a couple there.

Good luck.

yeah i have had a look and to be honest the 355 based on the MR2 just does not look quite right too me, the fiero kits seem to look better.

Never been a fan of the replica thing, nor really seen the point. A guy near where I used to live spent £25k on a 355 replica WHY??

Why not just get a good non-replica sportscar??
