Owner Andi Crampton has added that it took 100 hours over 3 months to build at a cost of £7,500.
The build was very easy, and in terms of the quality of the car in relation to the £7000 build cost, I think it is very good.In my opinion, the finished car has excellent road holding combined with a comfortable ride. I have done several long haul trips to kit car shows - there and back in the same day with no discomfort.
Owner John Webster has added that it took 230 hours over 6 months to build at a cost of £7,000.
Relatively easy build (I have no previous mechanical knowledge) due to the good build manual, and helpful staff. Some extra time needed to get the shut lines correct. Took the expensive option in going for 2.0 Zetec, and primarily new parts (with pinto, and more donor vehicle parts, average cost in the owners club is £4k - £5.5k). Much more spacious than any other '7', also seems to hold the road better than most, while not feeling harsh. Let down a bit by being heavy (650kgish), but is worth it for the solid, stiff feel. Large boot is practical (can fit the spare in with minor modification, and still fit a tent, sleeping bag and a change of clothes!) Overall, as practical as a '7' gets, with the handling and performance to match its (slightly quirky)looks
Owner russell moulder has added that it took 350 hours over 14 months to build at a cost of £7,500.
