The original was a cheap and cheerful V8 engine shoehorned into a crude but good looking 50s English sports car (the AC Ace I believe) with the wheelarches flared and big wheels fitted. It is good looking in a brutal way, is fast because it is light but handles in a "vintage" way. This means that the kit can be as crude as you like and it is not far from the original in feel and great fun. I nearly built one myself years ago but bought a TVR Griffith instead as my spare time was non existent. Frank On 7 Dec, 2004, at 23:09, John Collier wrote: > No it is not the real thing.
