Fimi 7 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 I reached out to them a few months ago and had a few emails go back and forth. Eventually decided to work directly with the manufacturer in the UK. They were very willing to help, but I think only one person really knows anything. Try - paul@smartsportscars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian7 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 Thx Fimi, you and I already discussed this on the phone, was wondering if anyone else had any experience with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taber10 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Ian7, Yes, I visited them in their shop about a year ago. They were very friendly and helpful. But, they were trying to "sell" the last of the previous shipment--one car kit left from apparently a "container full" that had arrived some time back. They were definitely more focused on the new project, which looked like a homebuilt Atom Ariel. I should say, it looked like an Ariel as much as the MK Indy looks like a Lotus. Both kits were "inexpensive" and the cost cutting "compromises" seemed way too apparent to me. Other than the quality of the kit, I would have had no problems dealing with Paul or his team. Of course, it is only a short day's drive for me--and I was on a business trip totally reimbursed by my employer at the time. Taber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian7 Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 thx guys, I guess I'm an old cynich (sp?), but if I can't get any response from them as a POTENTIAL customer, what is their service going to be like after they get my money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fimi 7 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Well I have to take back whats I said a few days ago . MK released my kit to the shippers on Friday. So the kit is on the way. I only pray it has all the right parts in the correct configuration to fit. Not expected to get here till mid June, so I will update you when I get it. I think all my fingers are now crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
