In 2004, my dad and I went to look at a kit car manufacturer for sale. Ever since then, I've been aiming to own one. They don't have the quality of supercars, but they do have good performance for a low price.
It's a Fisher Fury. This one has the Le Mans bonnet (my preferred choice), a full windscreen, and doors. The engine is a 1700cc Ford Crossflow, which needs the carburettors tuning up. I have no idea what the 0-60 time is, but I'm guessing a bit over 6 seconds.
I say "almost" dream car - I wanted one with a more powerful engine, but with insurance and inexperience, it might be for the best to start with this engine. I was planning on doing an engine swap in the future. I had a blat around some country lanes and I can certainly tell the difference from my usual 320d touring (surprise, surprise).
It has quite a few scruffy bits and pieces, but they're easily fixable. The biggest concern for me is that the exhaust doesn't line up with the exhaust hole (the metal plate on the sill) so some of the fibreglass above it has a hole melted through. Most of the rubber trim is easily replaceable.
It's a great car for people who love attention! Half a mile away from the seller, a bunch of kids on the side of the road waved and shouted "Nice car!" Half a mile later I was filling up in a petrol station and someone came over and said "Nice motor, did you build it yourself?" Errrm, no... Driving around town, I had a lot of people waving from the side of the road.
