I can imagine one - oh yes.
Didn't I read on the site that they would not consider building a road going version?

yeh, there is one in the UK from Kraftwerks his name is graham turner. he bought it and agreed to go into production for Kraftwerks assembling them here, but they fell out. So graham has pulled his apart & is modifying it to get SVA approval (honeycomb crumple zone in front like radical SR2, etc). but he's a perfectionist & it's taking AGES to finish.
Kraftwerks are only building pukka race versions and are working on a flat 12 (two early 6's "bolted" together). I'm going to be in NZ at xmas and am seriously tempted to go take a look on the way there.... The other alternative is the US franchise which is up & running.
Take a look thru the images section - the quality of the castings, bodywork, etc is awesome.
circa GBP20 in component form although graham is talking about sub 15k for on road UK cost!
seriously salivating
