Help identifying kit car

Thats the "ASBO". Scratch built to the builders own design. There's also the "Warner R4" (again scratch built) that was completed slightly before it and the 2 are remarkably similar for two seperate designs.

Hi JNR77, I can tell you pretty much anything about the car as I now own it!
That was an early picture (not sure where it was taken though) the car later had side panels and a rear spoiler fitted plus a carbon fibre type can. There were two built by Robin Davies over in South Wales, the original red one (mine!! yeehaww!!) and then later he built himself a yellow one which now resides in the Manchester area and is currently a track only car. Mine is the only road legal one on the planet (yeehaww again!!)
The car is nowt short of amazing and will give any Atom a run for it's money. It has a Suzuki GXSR1000 engine right behind your head, sequential gearbox with a flatshifter up and down the box and a Quaife ATB LSD from a Radical. At only 450kgs needless to say it goes like a stabbed rat!
I have seen the Warner R4 and AdiT is correct they are amazingly similar! I have no idea which was finished 1st though but I am sure neither builder knew about the others efforts until much later. In fact if you Google images of the R4 the picture above of the ASBO comes up in about 5th place!!
Your link to the R4 does not seem to work btw AdiT. Try this one... http://www.warnercars.com/
Here are a few pics taken at various places (Castle Combe, Llandow, ADC Sunday meeting Queen Square Bristol)
