This is the Tiger Super 6 I built in 2004.
2 Litre Zetec, twin 45 Webbers, circa 160 bhp, 600Kg
The kit came as a box section chassis, fibreglass body and a few boxes of bits. On seeing the delivery the wife said, "you will never build that" 18 months later got soaked taking if for the SVA test and it passed.
The guy in the passenger seat was 80, now 101 and could prob still get in it!

A good Mk1 Lotus Cortina must be worth a fortune now!

£50-60k for a real nicely restored one.
They've been pretty much static at those prices for the past 20+ years now though.

Most fun to drive was the Reliant. My dad owned a garage and taught me to drive when I was 12 in a 62 Ford Galaxy. He bought the Reliant so he didn't have to drive me the 25 miles commute to school and back every day. I passed my test on my 16th birthday and at that age you're immortal and can drive everywhere at full throttle. Once you get the 3 wheel knack of throwing the rear out on every corner you can progress quite rapidly.
Today I just pootle about, driving on the limit with 10x the horsepower is impossible.
