Well it was way back in 1991 that I last bought a kit car but the decision to go with the Cortina based Sumo were....
1) It
had to be a Cobra
2) It had to be cheap to build
3) It had to be cheap to insure (was only 21 then and these were the days of crazy insurance becaused of the GTi's XR3's etc)
4) It had to offer at least V6 option
5) Company had to have a good reputation
The rest is history - had many a good year with it but it was sold last summer
