I’d guess you need about £30k to make a good looking one and they look pretty awful with the wheel arches fitted. If you really want a road going single seater, it’s the best you’ll get but anything more than a quick blast around some local country roads will be a pretty unpleasant experience imho.
If you want a nice looking single seater track car, there are dozens of old Formula Fords around that will be much better.

They say it’s no madder than a caterham with an aero screen but I think that’s pushing it, you’re far lower in a Caterham and there is more to make you feel secure.

Saw this at Silverstone the other weekend, and wasn't impressed.
It looks really chunky - tall and heavy looking, wide in the body. Perhaps 50s GP cars were exactly the same size and proportions, I dunno. But it didn't grill my sausage.
But what I really couldn't get on with was the visible OE MX5 subframes and wishbones. Really quick and easy giveaway that it wasn't period.
For 30k I'd rather build a Lotus 11 replica, and I suspect it would have more cachet, hold its value better, be more fun to drive...

I would beg to differ on this point…If you really want a road going single seater, it’s the best you’ll get
