I saw it at Donnington - it was on my shortlist of 'things to build'

Really well put together and very, very quick with the T series engine - I was chaffeured around the private roads by the designer ..... nice.

They are looking into a hard top aswell at the moment.

Will try and post some pics tonight.

was very interested in the T2 about 2 years ago, on it's first appearance at a kitcar show.. (think that was donny too.. maybe stonleigh)

I've heard he now offers the VAG1.8T unit.. which would make a nice alternative in 225bhp TT guise..

the T2 and the Libra are the only two kitcars that I'd consider (not into 7's)... as both seem very well made.. not altogether sure on the T2's styling though.. looks a bit squashed/melted from some angles.. particularly the bonnet.

very competent car though.. hardtop sounds good... proper coupe would be even better!

I think the Shelsley would look a lot nicer with a sill. Somehow the doors look too much like an afterthough which split the car in two (yes I know they weren't on the first cars)...

Pic shows the rear screen panel ready for the hard top roof panel.

Not seen it all in place, but this show the car can still be practical as a hard top.

A true competitor to the Libra?

hopefully so.. but it's styling just isn't good enough I think.. obviously it's a subjective thing, but it just looks far too "kitcar" to me.. maybe some design students should be let loose on it..
