The MEV Rocket, kit starts at £3999+vat.

It looks pretty awesome

Its based on a Ford Focus but obviously you'd junk the Zetec lump for something much better.

Or £17,995 built. Can't believe the difference between built & kit prices!

Paul at CarbonMods is building one with a 2.0 Duratec Engine; reworked rollcage and chassis, Jenvey Throttle Bodies, carbon panels, Pro Race 1.2s, 11lb Nitrous kit etc etc.

He's changed the front end and engine housing so its not as boxy; much nicer job than a standard build

I'll get some better photos but you can see it in the back ground of this shot, behind the C5 and Microlight

Built price is OTR too so it will include TAX and IVA/SVA.

Paul has chopped his up significantly; it can be made to look quite good but takes fettling to change it from Standard - the one posted isn't standard either; although not far off
