Rather nice looking IMO, should be quite rapid with the twin turbo Lexus V8 option too.

So $43,995 plus one of Cowboy Beebop's twin turbo V8s and a gearbox... not quite Fiesta money sady but probably a relative bargain for the grins it will produce.

 

That's pretty damn good actually.

 

Crazy idea: rent house with garage in Florida for 1 month, spend the time building the car, then put it on a boat back to UK once done.

 

Customer has to buy the tyres too I notice... and for a V8TT you'll be needing custom intercooling parts too. Still, probably still sub-£50k
