| Factory Five in UK?? Anyone out there built a Factory Five kit and registered in the UK? I've looked carefully at their product and aside from being LHD (not the end of the world) and obvious minor snags like non E marked lights cannot see it being a major hassle to SVA. By the time you add on all the shipping and VAT and duty it still works out very competitive compared to any of the better UK kits. I've gone through the build manual and nothing horrendous crops up there either. I'm tempted and like their design and engineering- anyone know anything I'm missing? Besides, I love the spec racer look....! there are also breakers in the US who will pallet all the donor parts you need for under $3000 (that's GBP 1600 for engine, trans, axles (inc LSD) etc). Thanks, Chas32      |

1. They are a single donor. 2. The yanks have no bends in their roads, so handling isn't a problem.

| Re: Factory Five in UK?? I too would be interested to know why people do or do not like the factory five. Why is it so popular over the pond?

| Re: Factory Five in UK?? They are popular in the same way that Robin Hood 7's are popular over here.
