Ian7 Posted May 8, 2011 Posted May 8, 2011 anyone succeed in actually talking to them? what about cars and/or kits in stock - ever see any actual hardware? thanks
Fimi 7 Posted May 9, 2011 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
Ian7 Posted May 10, 2011 Author 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?
Taber10 Posted May 10, 2011 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
Ian7 Posted May 10, 2011 Author 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?
Fimi 7 Posted May 14, 2011 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
