Ah but then it wouldn't qualify for Honda UK's 90,000 mile / 3 year warranty

That website is wacky. All the cars look like miniature models, not full-sized cars. Perhaps they don't have full-sized versions yet and only manufacture upon order. Anyway, good luck and let us know how it drives.

did i read that right?

honda UK offers a 3 year/90,000 mile warranty on their cars???

if that's correct that is a hell of a lot better than the crappy 3/36 that we get in the USA.

Shame they didn't put any effort into the body.. 1960's body, 2000's engine.

I want to see what would happen if TVR put the 2000 engine in one to their awesome lookiing machines (instead of their petrol guzzling 4 litre engines)

For those of you who don't know TVR checkout http://www.tvr.co.uk/ .. it's also the star in the film Swordfish.

Heh. They're computer generated models.

I wouldn't be suprised. They use the ITRs B18C5 in US spec Lotus Elises apparently.
