Most of the kit cars currently on the market (even the Cobras) have some "standard specs" from the manufacturer. They also have optional engines etc. There are a lot of kits out there also. They can

I don't see street licensing as being all that important otherwise you could eliminate the Mod class completely. I seriously doubt that is going to happen anytime soon. If the car isn't registered o

The Europa was the first Lotus not to be considered a kit. But how many were built in a 12 month (1 year ) period. I would bet that you could have bought te car any way you wanted as a factory piece.

No. Whereas your misquote makes that attempt, my words do not support his claims. "Customer order" is not the same thing as "custom order. Go back and look at the passages you quoted from my post. Lo
