Thanks for all the positive comments.
The chassis is designed and built by MNR in Harrogate the model is a Vortx RT+, the engine is from a Kawasaki ZX12R, as you might have guessed it's a 1.2L.
We did a lot of research on 7 type kits and thought MNR offered the best chassis, it has inboard suspension and a lot of triangular bracing. My Dad and I work together and realised we didn't have the time to build one, a fully built one to our spec would have been £15k+. This one came up and we went for it.
It is absolutely amazing to drive, it's about a pure a driving experience as you can get (that's road legal). I have the dyno sheet that shows 144.8bhp at the wheels, it weighs between 420 and 450kg, so you can imagine how quick it is. I had it at Croft last week but it developed a fuel problem mid morning which was dissapointing. Turned out to be a nut and bolt in the fuel tank outlet!
Really looking forward to the good weather this weekend, will try and get some footage of it in motion.
Cheers.

Yeah defo footage!! Me and my man are very interested in this. He is an ex biker, I am a wannabe biker and both love cars!! Now all I need is to convince him that 15k is a good investment in a track car and not an RS TT!!!
