Nicest Beetle-based kit car I've ever seen.
This is just stunning, and reasonably priced too. Thinking of ordering one myself, just figuring out the import/transport costs :o .

I agree. That's a nice looking car. It looks a lot like the Riot which is available in Oz, but it's a great improvement on it.
Before I imported one I would check with the Registration office and an engineer to see if they are going to classify it as either an Extensively
Modified Production Vehicle (EMPV) or an Individually Constructed Vehicle (ICV). There is a world of difference between them. An EMPV is an old car
and an ICV is a new car and it must comply with the 2004 Australian Design Rules (ADRs). You need to find out what they will do, in writing, before
you spend your dollars.
A few years ago I got permission to import a used Meyers Manx SR body, but I did not realise that they were going to classify it as an ICV, or I may
not have done so.
One more thing. If you sit tall in the saddle, as I do, you will need to know if you will fit into it. I cannot drive a Purvis Eureka as the top of
the windscreen is right in front of my eyes and I would need to hunker down into an uncomforatble and unsafe position in seats that are right on the
floor, to be able to see out the front.
I only just fit into the SR.
I suggest that you measure how tall you are when sitting down and see if you will fit into the car.
