Question anybody heard of Kamala Cars?

Hi all, we are doing a feature on Kamala cars based in Norfolk, just wondering if anybody has heard of them before? www.kamalacars.com

Our visit is on saturday, they use a cosworth engine as an option for their cars producing 0-60 in less than 4 seconds. wow hope i get a test drive!!! LOL

thanks

The Kamala was originally built by Dax, well known for their 7 (Rush) and Cobra (Tojero?) replicas. They're in 'arlow.

They're a relatively well known firm as far as I know.. I think they have some sort of relationship is Dax?
The Kamala looks quite interesting, quite an old design (8-10 years or so?). Not heard all that much about how it drives though, to be honest.

Probably completely wrong, but nevermind.. I have heard of them anyway!

(Above post wasnt there when i clicked on reply)

Hi Guys! Zoe from Kamala Cars here!

Sorry we've let you down with our website - hands up, it has been pants, but we've been spending our time producing a fabulous car instead!

The website is currently being redesigned and I hope you find it much more user friendly. If you need any info or photos of the car in the meantime then just drop me a line.

Glad you enjoyed the ride Moz!

Look forward to reading the article!

should look like this, although this is a DAX one. I heard that Kamala Cars have redesigned it a bit. Always thought they were cool in an ugly kinda way

I'm trying to figure out why the rear wheels are enclosed in bodywork but the fronts just have mudguards and are not enclosed in bodywork - that makes it look strange !!

I prefer the version with the open wheels. The only thing that this version needs is integrated front lights. Apart from this i wouldn't change anything on it.
