My eyes!

It's only a 'TT Lookalike' after 10 pints.

It's a Banham. They are hideous. Even after SVA was forced, Banham was telling people his kits didn't=20 need it, they spent the money, built it according to his instructions=20 then found they had problem re-registering it. Also he took the original moulds for the Ford RS200 and made copies and=20 made a kit using the Austin Maestro. The best looking kit he ever made was the 550 Spyder, but a lot of=20 perfectly good Skoda Estelle and Rapids were cut up, only to find he=20 didn't deliver the kit that was ordered, the jo wasn't as easy as=20 thought, or the car wouldn't go through SVA without severe work doing. It was reckoned you assemble a Banham for arround =A32/3k all in, but=20 would cost about =A34-5k if you planned from the start to alter the body=20 and fitting to suit the SVA, and used SVA approved components.

Then he sold the business to two companies and went bust, both thinking=20 they had bought the rights to the model name and production, and the=20 moulds, and the jigs. Got quite nasty on the spyder builders group=20 eventually.

--=20 Carl Robson Car PC Build starts again.

He owned the RS200 moulds, IIRC, and produced RS200 panels for repairs.

That was about the only decent thing he did. Apparently though, some of his kit panels were so think you could see shapes, not just light through them. Most people beefed them up with either mat or fibreglass paste.

I'd buy *that* for a dollar!

They were apparently quite spritely if you used a Maestro Turbo.
