The specification looks as great as the car does! No mention of price yet.

£39995, plus £1100 if you want it road registered.
Hardly a bargain then, given the initial price estimate of £25K!

It says £39,995 in that document, seems a bit on the steep side given how much a Radical costs
Nice to see the Circuit Car finally seeing the light of day though!

I wonder if 340R owners will be tempted to it or anyone else here?

Don't think so, 275s seem to be advertised at mid £30ks 2nd hand.
I reckon it looks good

Hate to say it, but I think theve dropped a Bol**ok with this one.
Drawn with a ruler. Looks like a cheap kit car from 1985.
Why buy one of these whan a second hand £10k mk1 with £5k engine swap and a little more for go faster bits would give a better all round package.
If your seriously going to buy one to race then your better off rebuilding a mk1 Exige to your own spec to that budget...
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....
