The neat looking beast you see on the screen above first appeared in the late 60s as the Nova kit car, produced in the UK by Richard Oakes and Phil Sayers using a swoopy fiberglass body, and Volkswagen Beetle chassis with buyer provided running gear.  The same design was later branded as the Sterling, Cimbria and Purvis, and […]
The G6 (Group of Six) was the unofficial name for the collection of head interior ministers for the biggest players in the European Union, which included Germany, Italy, France, Poland, Spain, and the UK (before Brexit). This super powerful group of shadowy big state puppet masters met in the steam filled saunas of private resorts […]
I was eating some kind of meal replacement bar the other day that I found in my pantry and I mentioned to someone “this isn’t bad, but it is sorta like eating something created by someone who had never eaten, but only read about it”. It isn’t an experience that I would recommend, but it […]
This next car comes as a tip from David in Tampa who writes: I can’t even begin to comprehend how this exists within the United States’ worst state (Florida) and within that state’s worst county (Polk). Yet like an apparition, there it is. You go, Davenport! Find this 1970 Volkswagen Beetle Kit Car offered for […]
This next car comes as a tip from Orlando who writes: Like one of those restaurants you don’t see anymore where you cook your own steak: Now, let’s see if you can find a pinto or chevette chassis that hasn’t been turned into a dishwasher or an Olympic stadium. Ooof, when I first opened this […]
This next car comes as a tip from Rock On who writes; this one looks almost roadworthy!

But today’s Bradley looks ready for a drive down to your local breakfast spot on […]
This next car comes as a tip from Cory who calls it a “very obscure VW based kit car.” But I think this is not as obscure as you might think it is, because DT features Sterlings on a semi-frequent basis…not that that means much. We tend to feature obscure things because familiar things are…well…lame. […]
If you saw this car on the street, you wouldn’t immediately think it was built in someone’s basement. Well…you guys might assume that is the case because y’all are familiar with kit cars, but the average Joe on the street will assume this is a rare Lamborghini concept car or a Pontiac prototype from the […]
It consistently amazes me how much money people will drop into cars. I’m probably guilty of the same, but I’ve got the wherewithal to NOT count my receipts at the end of a lifelong project car. But the builder of this next Bradley GT put $40,000 into his VW powered kit car. It actually doesn’t […]
When this next car came into the DT tips inbox, I had a sense of deja hooptie. We’ve featured this car before when it was listed on craigslist for $25k asking…but it looks nicer than in the previous photos, when it was offered in an estate sale by Halstead’s Helping Hands Estate Sales. It looks […]
