Hi Guys/ Gals,

I'm interested on getting a bit of info on any kit cars available in Ireland. I have seen good couple of Ferrari replicas- Toyota MR2 on for sale. Does any1 ve sum opinion on them. How do these guys drive them in here and are they legal to drive? How do we get insurance n nct on them?

Thanks in advance.

Modified Cars might be worth checking out.

Lads there might have better info.

Was a chap doing a Lamborghini on www.redline.ie

Last time i checked it was coming along nicely. Lot of work involved though.

The whole kit car things is just wrOng in my eyes. If I see a kit car of some Ferrari it makes me laugh and sad at the same time.
Laugh - it's a fake, you know it, everyone else knows it. It will fool only someone who does not know a thing about cars. Then you will have to drive it yourself and know its just a fake.
Sad - a perfectly good mr2s being scangorised and ruined with these Ferrari kits etc. mr2 is a lovely car and does not diserve such treatment.

You better of taking your budget and spending it on mr2 turbo and making it a better drivers machine, then a fake Ferrari, which will be just fake show and no go.

There are kit cars that are not built around an old chassis. These are very worthwhile IMO. Without doubt the whole Ferrari replica MR2 idea is a joke. They are a terrible sight.
