Ł1200 on a cage that looks like its bolted together
For that money I'd expect someone to build a mini around the cage

Rich - they AWESOME toys. Get in a std 1litre one, boot it and you will not stop laughing. If you look at the Mini Miglia series - they are like minature touring cars, the technology in them is incredible, and they lap very, very quickly.
