I'll upload some photos to show the car in its current state and some from last year when luminous yellow. But in brief some info is below;

Its quick
Its really quick
Handles beautifully. Very manageable, with only as much over steer as you would like. With a bit of setup tuning could be a very good drift/hill climb/etc car.
Economical depending on how you drive but thats not why you have a car like this
Insurance is cheap. £260.00 all declared with M R Bloor for myself who is 35 on specialist kitcar policy. Agreed valuation of £10k.
Some will recognise the car from Knockhill last year when it was plastidipped yellow....the base colour is white so it means it car be easily changed each year if you wish (that was my intention).
Was running 57-60sec laps at KH, but in the hands of a good driver I'd expect it to be sub-55s
And how it was last year!
