Re: RCR's Next car should be.....

Has anyone ever thought of building a replica of say, Jim Clark's F1 Lotus Cosworth? Maybe its just my love of race cars of the 60s, but I reckon that its one of the most beautiful looking F1 cars of all time, but its still such a simple car that I think a kit could be offered at very competitive price. And what an easy build it would be for a first time kit builder. And then you would have one of Colin Chapman's finest sitting in your garage. With a Cosworth engine if you really wanted to be accurate (I think that they are still available aren't they???), but any small quad-cam V8 engine could be used for the budget builder. I know that it would only be useful as a track car, but so would the 962.

What do you think Fran? Would there be a market for something like that? The first company to offer one would have the whole market to themselves.
