having got myself two restoration midas projects i'd say this was a bargain. OK you have to put a bit of work into building it but hey that's what kit cars are about.
I'm taking two approaches with the midas i have....
one i am riping apart and rebuilding afresh straight away. so it's effectively a kit as from the manufacturers only a bit shop soiled so to speak but with all the parts included already and with a registration already done.
the other I'm going to run a while so i can see what needs replacing and then I'll tare it apart and rebuild it.
each of them i will put my own personal stamp on which again is in my opinion all part of what kits are about.
if people were more positive and happy to put a bit of effort into things then a car like this one would have had more bidders chasing it. it seems that there's fewer people around like this these days and consequently there's some bargains to be had. These can make very nice cars and given the price of modern sports cars these days nice tidy examples should fetch good prices. They will outlast any modern tin box and if you were to put a good engine in them they should go every bit as well or better than cars well into the five figure mark.
The cheapest kits out there these days are the likes of MEV and this has all of what's included in that kind of kit and some, for a mere fraction of the price.
'Should have, would have, could have,' didn't get anyone anywhere. Snooze you lose. Someone did indeed get themselves an excellent value for money project. Well done that man I say! I've already got two
