Gad,
Dax is just up the road from me.
Their innovative anti-roll suspension looks intriguing and the Cobra reps (I know!) look brilliant.
Having said that, I think I'd prefer to do a Caterham, possibly out of brand snobbery. Karen assisted in her father's build of one, many years ago!

Good luck and do a lot of research before you spend your hard earned.
Caterham and Westfield are really good quality and holes line up
Many of the kits - the holes don't and it isn't a simple case of assembly.
You have to "McGyver" some of the parts.
Now... if you are going for a Hawk, GT40, or an Ultima.... that's something else.
If you haven't done one before, and funds allow - go for the Caterham/ Westfield. ( Good residuals...and pretty quick to assemble )
