Kit Car For A Learner

Thanks Vertuas,
I think the problem with that would be engine size and insurance, I think he
would need a kit based on an engine size of 1.0 litre or less.
L7 rep is fine.

You can get the donar sierra for about 250 quid.......cheaper from scrappy
propably.

You could put a ford 1.0 litre engine in, say from a fiesta or 1.25 zetec
from a KA, you'd just have to make sure it goes into a suitable gearbox

Usually you can make or have make an adaptor plate beteen the engine/geasbox
to make then fit togeter. Its just a bit of metal plate with a big hole in
the middle and bolt holds around it.

There is a kit based upon the fiesta XR2, but you could use a 1.0litre.

Some others :

L& rep can use 1.25 zetec :

Quantum 2+2, nice comvertable based on Fiesta XR2, but could build on 1.0L i
guess. Could uprate it later on.

these two are more expensive though.

Several EU proposals across the years are dangerous to the classic car
movement. One that has been under consideration is to ban the use of cars
older than 10 years. Similarly, Edinburgh City Council is considering the
banning of cars over 15 years old from the town centre. These, and similar,
proposals directly threaten the classic car movement, and encourage the
manufacture of new cars, with the attendent environmental issues of sourcing
raw materials, manufacturing, distriuting and scrapping the spiralling
supply of new vehicles.
