I think he said iro £20k.
Engine wise, it uses the Ford Duratec 2lt, with a slight tune.
The original Strathcarron from which the 5exi, Javan & Avocet was based around a Triumph 3cyl bike engine (iro 140bhp) with a monocoque chassis. I think Marlin is the only to make a space frame.
The official press release for the Avocet says:
'MM Industries, which now owns the former Strathcarron sportscar business, is presenting its production Avocet two-seater during the show's two trade days, prior to a public launch later in the year'
Spec is either 150bhp or 225bhp with an all up weight of 700kg.
It retains the original Reynard designed chassis, which has been further developed.
BTW - sorry guys, but I like the back end. Moulded lip spoiler, lights & back grill are excellent and gives it a more 'production car' finish.
There will also be a hard top!!!
