Craig, I think you'll find most owners are quite respectful and restrained as to passing judgment on the quality of the kits/manufacturers of others here but utilizing the search function might give you some basic factual technical information - such as monocoque v. tube frame, chassis material choice, etc. - as well as some sense for other factors like originality and interior space. I'm a fan of CAV as I really like the rugged stainless steel chassis. There seems to be some consensus that Superformance makes a high quality product with very high levels of originality. And, similarly, there seems to be consensus that Fran's products at RCR are of very high quality with the absolute best post-sale support and customer service/friendliness. I don't know much about other manufacturers (Tornado, GTD, etc.) but many also have very good reputations - most all have pretty good web sites with technical information and undoubtedly there will be an owner here of any one manufacturer that will be more than willing to share his (or her!) thoughts. I believe where you are in the UK there are lots of GTDs and probably one or two for sale in kit or complete form. Good luck and enjoy, you will undoubtedly have a great experience with this forum and behind the wheel.
