Thanks for the welcome. Are you or have you been a kit car owner?

Nope, sadly not. I'm only 15, so I'm not an any-car owner.


But building a kit car is definitely something I want to do in the future, when I have time, money, resources and some degree of engineering competence.

Welcome aboard, nice little kit you have there! Strange, haven't heard much of the midtec for a while but in the last couple of weeks they seem to be re-surfacing a bit. Did you build yourself?

Cheers for the weclcome. o I didn't build it myself. Was just searching for Noble on Ebay like I do occasionally and the Midtec came up because the seller had highlighted that Lee Noble had designed it.

I've spent too much time in the past working on cars. A Pug 205 with an MI16 engine cost me a lot of weekends (and money), as did my beach buggy. The Midtec is always ready to drive. All I need to do is remove the doors (looks better) and fold the roof back and that's it.

It took me a long time to learn believe me. My friends and family used to joke that I could have bought a Ferrari for what I paid for my Pug 205!

Interesting job Davi. I've got a buy-to-let but will probably sell my place and move into it next yera as it's bigger.I'll definately contact you if I decide otherwise.

Cheers
Gary

LOL dont think I'll ever learn TBH, I can happily spend all evening in the workshop and not even realise it's turned morning again, much to the wife's amusement as you can imagine. I'm always really proud when I can invest 100 man hours and a large wadge of bills into building something I could have bought for a tenner at the sunday market, may explain why I dont have a decent car at the moment!

Not sure I'd call it an interesting profession, but it pays the bills! Feel free to contact if you want to!

What will it look like when you finish building it?

What's the cheapest kit car you can get? And does anyone sell kits which they bought ages ago and never built for cheaper prices?

I want a go!
