That's not a Sabre, that's a Ferrari Dino replica.
Very nice cars in person, I've fallen in love with one lately... the guy won't part with it though!
-Staggers.
This is a Sabre:

Sorry I should correct myself before Sinecure cracks it, the red 'Sabre' is actually a Taipan...
the only MAJOR noticeable difference to the 'untrained eye' is the front and rear
sections being hinged, instead of being a one piece body.
Both made by DRB (On the G. Coast was it Sinecure?) and basically slightly cosmetically different.
That should keep Micheal happy.

Thank you, Brenton. Yep, both built on the GC, and the Taipan is a mid-mounted inline 4.
BTW, the gold one is a Kelmark Condor. Theres one for sale on ebay in QLD - $1000 and only one bid, Brenton.

I like the look of them, especially in white. How much does the kit start at.

Thanks, I really like the white too. And white is the new colour of choice for 'supercars', according to Top Gear.
A bit of history: The Taipan and Sabre MKII were manufactured in 1987. Only 24 MKIIs (as far as I've been able to research) and 6 Taipans were
made. The MKII was $11,000 for just the body/spaceframe back then, the Taipan even more.
Shannons suggested and agreed insured value on mine is $30,000, and increasing every year.
Stand by though, because I may have traced the guy who has the moulds.

Yeah, the Condor is based on the Dino styling.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but can you post a pic or two and potential price.
Where have I heard of this car before? Purvis Eureka forum? DRB only made two FACTORY MKII Targas.

I gotta say, I'm not usually in for this sort of thing, but I love the look of Sinecures car. Very classy and classic looking. The only thing I'd
change would be to put slight bigger rims on it, say 16" as opposed to 15", but I'd keep the minilite style.

love the sabre!
that gold one pic'd already is actually a Condor kit car, and not a Kelmark. the condor was built in sth dandenong. you can tell the difference to a
kelmark. the Condor has narrow A pillars and frames door tops. much more elegant around the cabin and windows than the Kelmark.
the Kelmark was an american kit design.

VG coupe? It is actually a Jensen Interceptor III, and is my current "project" as I thought it would be a little easier cheaper and quicker to
complete than the Sabre. Having said that, I havent got much done to it recently but hope that will change soon.

Nice... sorry about the guess. It has the same shaped grille as my VG. A friend twin turbo'd one of them. Goes like stink but expensive to fit when
something goes wrong. I think they are very james bond looking, I dont know why.

A twin turbo interceptor? interesting! I bet he had all manner of heat issues under the bonnet, they are very hard to keep cool. Would have been an
interesting ride for sure.
I heard of an SP (which was the first Interceptor to get the 440ci V8) which had the triple dual barrel carbs, some guy in Aus put NOS on it and it
would easily spin the wheels at 100MPH...
