Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for that!

More to come! Also check out videos we did by manufacturer at the 2023 show for the 7Spot channel.

Glad to hear it!

Our pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Ha ha, see what you did there.

Glad you enjoyed it!

The nearest I could suggest is Hall Garages offer a Frogeye Sprite kit based on a Midget, replacing a lot of the steel panels with fibreglass ones.

I do try and hide my real feelings... Who am I kidding, no I don't! 🤣

@@oscarsgarage447Nor should you. It’s ludicrous.

Thanks for liking

It is a GTM Coupe. A chap called Derek Hambly supplies parts for them, and also races them! We did a video with him on the 7Spot channel if you want to find out more.

Good call. He will also supply parts for some Robin Hoods still which is a saviour for many!

Glad to hear it!

If only he had kept it as a RS2000 he would be quids in...

Glad you enjoyed it. Its a reflection of the current scale of the industry. The move to Malvern has given the show a shot in the arm so hopefully the few manufacturers that weren't displaying will be there next year.

@@oscarsgarage447 Its a shame that many of the successful replica kitcar manufacturers now only market their products through the classic car scene. It might be a reflection of the classic scene now accepting high end replica cars as the real ones aren't affordable by the relatively wealthy would be owners ! At the same time the would be owners of the real cars don't understand the current kitcar scene in the wider sense and that quality products are now the norm. There is still plenty of work for the industry to do to convince both the trade and potential buyers to attend our events.

Like Superformance and Factory Five?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it

Think your T-Bird is unlikely. The men in suits have generally killed off the Ferrari replica market...

@@oscarsgarage447 I prefer the Ford version.

Thanks. A couple spring to mind. Tribute Automotive and Classic Coachworks.

Thanks. I am not a great fan of EV, but I can see it working in certain limited circumstances.

@@oscarsgarage447 Delivering milk?

Totalkitcar.com is a good start. Manufacturer links in the description.

Well apart from the Lotus 7 style cars, the GT40s, the Speedsters, the DBR inspired cars and the exoskeletal ones...

I was hoping to see a T-Bird, or a Lister. An XK13 maybe. Even a few more Ferrari replicas. But a Marilyn T-Bird with a spare wheel on the back would be perfect.

Thanks. Yep. Was encoded incorrectly in final production. Hopefully doesn't spoil enjoyment too much

They certainly have!

You can have a Ford engine (and the Coyote is used in some) but it's a combination of things. With having to put the cars through IVA as a new vehicle you have to meet strict emission criteria and the Chevy package is an easy way to achieve it, also a lot of owners are looking for modern reliability. But ultimately the great thing about kit cars is you can have what you want.

The scale of the show had shrunk so Stoneleigh was no longer viable. This was due to less manufacturers to exhibit, the parts traders had been decimated by the internet, and also reduced club attendance. It was lost in that big showground. Malvern fits the scale of the show and has seen an increase in exhibitiors. It would be great to see more club attendance and camping though. Location wise the Malvern also is a nice pairing to the Newark show in September

They are!

Because they weren't exhibiting?

​@@oscarsgarage447 you can see them right there on the video, they skip right past them, 15.06 there is a big yellow one right there

Look down comments, already been asked.

Unfortunately a combination of cheap sportcars (Z3, MX5 and SLK for example) and the cost of building a kit car knocked a lot of those manufacturers out of the market. Probably closest is the Quantum LMR141.

There was one called the Challenger back in the 80s/90s of which quite a few were sold. But E type prices then dipped so they were no longer viable.

I can look but I guess its long gone...

LOL. No politics from me... :-)

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about...

In the video, there was at least one dog barking in the background. Many times. Review your own video and you'll see what they mean. That and your audio on this came out in only the left channel

Its you...

Pardon?

Check out this interview with youtuber Jose Windle who has done just that. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eKx0e9p_kr-8gH0.htmlsi=Il6kLhQuDSav_LpF

Oh yes there is...

Glad you enjoyed it, but I think you have misunderstood what they mean. Some manufacturers, and bear in mind they have a long waiting list for kits, want to make sure any buyer understands what they are committing to as they want to see their cars finished to a good standard, not left part built. There is nothing closed door about any of these manufacturers, they will all welcome you with open arms.

🤣🤣

A soy sausage. 👀

That is the way the market has evolved I'm afraid. There were some wild designs in the past, but now it is generally replicas of iconic cars.

Why not? It's natural

What's the world come to when feeding a kid shocks somebody

No one is trying to kid anyone.

@@oscarsgarage447 _Whitney dressed as Britney._

Lots of the older kit cars that looked like kit cars have faded away into the history books and are unlikely to return. Modern kits with modern running gear are on a par with mainstream manufacturers with regards to quality and engineering standards and represent the future. The replica scene has been embraced by mainstream manufacturers such as Jaguar, Aston Martin etc etc who have been bringing out " continuations" models in recent times. The replica kit car market has done this for years, again with modern running gear in a classic car shape, these cars are very real ! I'd rather have a modern Cobra or GT40 replica than an original, they are better cars on so many levels than designs that go back 50 years or more .
