Re: In search of advice!

Hi Scott,

The main thing for me was the fact that the DRB was a steel spaceframe with steel panels welded into place, while the RF was aluminium panels bonded / riveted to the spaceframe. As Pete says, a closer look of a mono (orig) than the DRB. I liked this look better, but each to their own.

Also, the RF gear change is sill mounted, like the originals, while the DRB is centrally fitted (like the original Mk III road cars).

There are numerous other differences, but that is what makes it great. Who really wants ALL these cars to look identical?

If it a cage you desire, RF also can provide this. I have the 8 point option, although I would have to say that it's probably not 100% practical for road use (entry / exit issues). Stick with the 6 point, both manufacturers provide this.

Good luck with the search.
