I saw this in the car park at the Biggar car show today, it's a Banham kit based on a Skoda. This has got to be the best option for Brian, Porsche & Skoda all in one.

It's for sale too, so get the chequebook out Brian.

Did not know there was a show on !!the Tipec guys where at the Boness hill climb today I did not go as had something else arranged . I saw that car at the Selkirk show last year and was speaking to the guy who owned it , there where two of them a last weeks show at Gaydon .How much was he after ?Stewart McKay sold a very similair car last year for 6K
 
I think that Spyder replica belongs to a guy in my village. I have heard about it, but he takes it out so infrequently I have yet to see it. If it is the same guy, he used to have a TriKing (Morgan replica).

Small world eh?
 
Was it any good?

Tygan's development time on their 550 is some time off and I missed a Martin & Walker some time ago.

Total Headturners had one recently too, but it's off their website.

Would still like one.
 
It's certainly not as good as the one in your photograph. I remember seeing it originally advertised on Pistonheads for about £7K but, the guy who has it is in Edinburgh and is looking to buy a Cobra replica, thats why it's for sale. He didn't build it but has a photographic record of the build, not the usual Stuttgart quality.

I don't know if the Skoda parts are still available for the Estelle, otherwise you could upgrade to Alfa or early Porshe 4 pot engine if you had money to burn.

There are other Spyder kit makers about shame I don't have the time or money.

Is the Box a keeper then Mark ?
 
Yes Brian, being fettled as we speak.

Although I would have done most of these for the sale, I am now doing them for my enjoyment of the car!

New Boot Badge

Does all the above need done? No! Do I want too because I love the car? Yes, Am I mad? Certainly......
