I heard a lot about that car.. and some of it was about how troubled it was. There was a huge post in a forum a while back from Graham (he talks on this board!) that bought one. After he finished the car, he showed at a various shows and left people who saw it awe struck. He went on to say that the kit was totally garbage and that just about every part of it had to be reworked or completely redone by him; to the extent that only a few, if any of the parts were actually sourced from kraftwerkz.

theres more about it here

but as far as the company goes, didnt they try to sell the molds and the rights to the car? They probably did go out of business!

ow ok

well i went to there little factory about 3 yrs ago and had a look at the cars and they looked well built?

Having said that I was so excited to see a replica 917 that looked like a 917 I might have missed the inperfections!

Ottokar has recently bought 2 from Kraftwerk (Gulf and Martini), Graham can still make them (using genuine moulds from David Piper's car no 10) and there is a company in South Africa that does 917s.

Ash - Try Welcome to WerkzCars "Manufacturer of the Porsche 906 and Kraftwerkz LMK 917 replica"

They may have dropped the GT40.

I am hoping for an RSK 718 from about 1960...
