VERY nice cars. Kinda looks like Frans SLC...

Uses a Subaru WRX engine. Pretty slick looking car. Saw one for sale on ebay and had to do a little search for the info. Here's the ebay auction...

Laters,

Yep. Yet another Kiwi made flyer. Check out Saker Cars - Turnbull Engineering

 

[Russ Noble]

Yep, seen them.

Another Kiwi built car.

There are several in road trim here and also some race ones. Very nice. Built by Bruce Turnbull who has been around motoracing for at least 30 years.

There are profiles on half a dozen various spec Sakers in our club here Other Cars

And here's some impressions in club article comparing it with a club replica Stratos. Stratos vs Saker

Asyou can see many different power plants from Holden V6, Lexus V8, Subarus, whatever you want to fit.

Jeez Jac I'd put the flame suit on if I were you.

Certainly looks like a fun toy.

Strangley enough the Saker is actually manufactured here in Detroit....and the owners of the factory came to us to see if we would get involved with them.....so there Mr. Mac put that in your NZ pipe and smoke it.....epper:

Its a cool little car but not at all streetable in the guise shown....its a bugger to get in and out of too....cool all the same.

That is interesting Fran, there's not much makes it out here from Detroit these days! Not even RCR's!

We do seem to have a fairly high population of Sakers running around though. How many RCR's have you sent out to these shaky isles?

On a more important note, please don't encourage Jac to smoke, we're still trying to ween him off the woolly lawnmowers. :lol: :dead:We don't need to have to deal with yet another vice.

Cheers,

the only thing exported from NZ worth a ***t is Lamb......:dead:

You sheepsters are all too cheap to buy anything from elsewhere......besides...
You all think you can do it better than the rest of us so what hope do any manufacturers stand ........

[Fran Hall RCR]

Takes two Sheepsters to pick on one poor little Limey...shame on you old Geezers.

Russ...there must be a reason you are on a an Island in the middle of nowhere...

Jac...its humble pie after reading the NZ book of sheep herding.....

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

At least you have worked out it's the Kiwi's that herd sheep, (if thats what they call it) and not the Aussies.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Pete,
there's less dating competition in NZ.....

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Fran, do you know that all the sheep in New Zealand are called Artie?
Thats why the Haka starts with "Come Artie, Come Artie".

Dats nuffin- we all know the Aussie song--''Tie Me Kangaroo down Sport'' was written so that you fellas could have a 'Hump n Jump n Dump' that lasted for more than 3 seconds.
