Time for another classic car face-off, where you get to pick which car you’d drive if given the chance, but today (naturally) we’ve added a twist. Not only are these two cars located in the same city, but they are being offered by the same seller, so your decision doesn’t have to get made until […]
The Maxton Rollerskate is a kit car along the lines of the Noble M12, in that it’s classified officially as such (having the engine installed costs extra) but not colloquially. Really, neither belong in the same weight room as a VW-based kit with eastern bloc build quality, or another Gazelle Mercedes SSK or Frazer Nash […]
If you want a Volkswagen kit car that isn’t a shameless ripoff of a timeless design, you’ve got a few good options to chose from. The Siva Spyder is nice, the Fiberfab Aztec is always interesting, as is the Aquila Gullwing, and who doesn’t love Genaro “Rino” Malzoni’s Puma GTI but if you want a […]
The 1993 film Cool Runnings (directed by Jon Turteltaub, of National Treasure 1, 2, & 3 fame) was a story of Jamaica’s first bobsled team who fought their way to the winter Olympics in Calgary.

The market is better in the British Isles where used examples in various shape are offered for pence on the original pound. […]
Fox body Mustangs were not available and VW beetles were too slow/horrible, so kit car makers in the United Kingdom chose to use the Mini (ubiqutous and speedy) as the basis for a number of kit cars, starting with the Mini Marcos and then continuing with the Midas Mini. This 1985 (titled as a 1965 […]
You may have detected in a past a hint of disdain for most kit cars from the editors of the Daily Turismo. Honestly, it comes from seeing too many Cobra, Fauxrarri and Poor-sha based kit cars that take an iconic shape and combine it with eastern bloc build quality. We don’t have an problem with […]
Before the Morgan Motor Company built cars that termites love, they had a reputation for building cyclecars, or three wheeled motorcycle powered death traps that could seat 2 to 4 people. The reckless and wealthy can still buy Morgan 3 Wheelers new in the UK for about £25,000 GBP or $40,000 USD. The reckless cheapskates […]
