In1964/5 i had a picture of a a Dino against my bedroom wall and i said this is the most beautiful car they have ever made. After all these years you said this must be the most beautiful car they have ever made. That's true words. Cheers, Capetown.

Anybody remember in the mid-70s that came out with that car based on a Volkswagen chassis? A lot of people bought them thinking they're going to make quick money - even though it would still be a Volkswagen with the Volkswagen engine. They don't wines up there almost impossible to assemble, and cost a lot more to get them assembled than they had ever imagined

Good variety and no banal chat well done , I have built and owned a few kit cars over the years and have to say the Kit Car Industry has been dying on its feet for a decade or more now and it's such a pity as it's a great hobby with lots of good people in the various clubs etc , I enjoyed many visits at stonleigh and Newark and knebworth over they years and met lot's of fantastic enthusiasts . It is such a pity that the younger generation don't get into this hobby and reinvigorate it and take it forward .

Some interesting observations, there, thank you. I'm in the microcar scene and like kit cars, it doesn't seem to attract younger people.

There's a simple and economic reason really. Modern houses are not built with garages or extra land due to the housing demand and cost of land purchase. There's just nowhere to build or keep your toys anymore... Well, not in the UK 😢

If you are in an editing passion you could release a US version that does not have the Cobra Replicas, as that is most of the kit car scene in the US. I love seeing the unusual (for USrs), the GTM, the Italian, non-Fiero based cars, the Citroen adaptations, etc. though I didn't remember any GS based builds.
