I've always been into classic cars and still have one. The price of classic cars has now got into silly money, 25k plus for a mini!!
I think with classics at an all time high it may well get more attention from the classic scene. I used to equate a kit car to something with a poor body, damp interior and a VW engine.
With the rebodies using a decent platform and engine to begin with and no IVA it's a whole new game.
A bloke at Brooklands January show either this year or last was interested in my car and I explained about the rebody. He was really enthusiastic and loved the idea.
He explained his was also an older car with a newer body and walked me over to his 1928 Bentley rebodied in 1934. I remember being struck by the similarity in our two cars...
