£50,000 doesn't seem bad value for that spec...........especially if you say it quick!!

[Ricky]

Nice handling then....... you can make any car go quick in a straight line but just look at it in the corners!!!

I may be wrong but I think an Ultima also holds the record for maximum g pulled in a car......can't be much wrong with the handling then.

o bum, looks like its that one for sale aswell..... maybe it does go round corners really fast but it could go even fast if the suspension was a little stiffer and had a little more camber...it just looks really unsettled on the road...

[Ricky]

also dont get me wrong i think that the ultima is a great kit car, and the one in question i think is well worth 50k! i would love to see how the t70 performs next to it!!!

JUST PAINT IT GREEN AND CALL IT SHREK.

Take a good look at any Ultima from the front and tell me it doesn't look like the green Ogre.

Lovely cars , but not for me.

i agree.. looks nice from the back tho its the big bubble windscreen that puts me off....

It's all about personal tastes. My preference is with no spoiler at all, and why they went for the mechano halfords bolt on I just don't understand. It may be for adjustability as it certainly aint for looks. IMO.

Wow! You can improve a car's handling just by looking at a photo of it. Certainly saves on all that pesky track time. Those head-hunters from Ultima's competition department should be knocking on your door anytime now.
