ULTIMA GTR
Had a look around in one of these on the weekend - my girlfriends cousin has been building it over the last 2 years.
The kit is supplied in stages and once a stage is complete Ultima collect the car from you and check your work is correct before the next stage - brilliant service I thought as it also saves on storage space problems.
His looks exactly the same as below but he's also fitted a crank driven supercharger on the top of his 6.7 litre chevy block
(and the car weighs less than 900kg!) This is the ultimate toy and it's completely road legal - I was amazed..
He's taking me out in it within the next few months - can't wait!

I remember paxing around Castle Combe in one of them on a "pay for 3 laps" kit car day. I went in the Rover 3.5 powered one, my mate was in the 350cc powered. pretty breathtaking. Gorgeous cars, but not cheap for a kit, I think?
EDIT - PMSL
, why did no-one notice this? I meant my mate was in the 350 cu in powered....

A guy in Leeds had one built, was a reworked engine... 6.8ltr twin turbo, good for 1200bhp!! Think it was damaged in a fire at his garage though

What a stunning piece of engineering.
I saw one of these at my local petrol station - asked the owner about it and he was really chuffed that someone actually knew what it was!
