If you where not building a roadster what would it be?
I was very tempted on a mev tR1ke when I seen the prototype witch is now the demonstrator but when I asked about expected kit and build costs Thay where some what inflated to 2x what Thay are now.

If money allowed (which it clearly doesn't) I'd love to have started something more racey, such as a GT40 build, or more practically a Spire GTR.

I think it would be a sebring or cobra, but my ultimate would be a resoration of an Austin Healey 3000

I have built quite a few kit cars including cobra`s and a gt40 but the one I keep looking at is the daytona cobra with a big block ford. 200+mph for less than 20k

Well, just about to take on a 64 Split screen VW camper, something my wife and I have both hankered after for over 20 years (and I'm only 38!), and when we've had our fun with that, I think a chesil 356 speedster, then I'll stop! It's slow, and doesn't handle well, but I've got a roadster for that, and I still don't think anyone has ever designed a car more beautiful than the 356 speedster!

Cheers

Adrian
