That car has a story to tell. Looks like an H&S kit built many years ago with some new parts to get it going and "road worthy"/sellable. MGB power brake booster, british hydraulic clutch, probably a T5, excellent light weight, simple to maintain buick/rover engine, mallory distributor, carter/edelbrock carb. Reasonable weight four lug Mustang 2 and axle no doubt. What a fun project to improve and tinker with on the weekends, starting with the recently added trailer lights. I'm guessing a recent transfer to a "flipper". EDIT: closer look at the pics and it appears the head lights and turn signals are mounted to the upper control rocker arms. Doesn't look like mustang2 spindles after all. A pricey fixer upper for sure. Edited November 28, 2022 by MV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted November 28, 2022 Author Share Posted November 28, 2022 I have seen that car before in the for sale ads. Says it was listed for sale a year ago in TX. May be an old ad still lurking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 It seems familiar to me too. The important stuff looks well done. Probably still for sale. IMHO, maybe a $5k ride as-is to the right buyer in '22. Could be worth a lot more with a little work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philso Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Apparently, it is still available. The seller stated "I was told An engineering company in England build the frame from drawings that came with the kit. The engine is a Rover SD1 V8 It’s an aluminum block, I’m told it’s the same as the Buick V8 engine over here in the USA. The rear axle is solid. It’s not independent on the rear. 5 speed manual transmission" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce K Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Around three years ago, before I purchased the gorgeous Caterham I am selling now (see "Cars for Sale" in this forum), I almost purchased a very nice Drakan from Shinoo Mapleton at Sector 111 in CA. Presciently, I offered about $80,000, based on market research into similarly configured low-volume sports cars. Shinoo held firm at $125,000, so we were unable to conclude a deal (according to Shinoo, he sold it later for $110,000). But the Drakan and its Palotov predecessor are intriguing sports cars - bigger, safer, more comfortable and better handling Ariel Atoms IMO. Down the line, however, maintenance will be a problem because of the many bespoke parts. Sector 111 can manufacture a lot of them, but costs will be high and delays long, and items like windshields could be problematic. Following are images of my concours-winning R400 / R500 Caterham replete with $25,000 in options and offered for $55,000: Edited December 8, 2022 by Bruce K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdb Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) The windshield? Problematic? Oh I get it. That other windshield. Edited December 9, 2022 by wdb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce K Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 (edited) Yes, the windshield in the Drakan, with the compound curves. Those are very costly to replicate individually - often, it it not possible to purchase just one - you have to buy 10 or 12, or buy 2 and pay for 12. If the glass is destroyed and not just cracked, you have to scan the space first, or otherwise convert the form to a design. The windshield in the Caterham, on the other hand, is off-the-shelf, as are all other parts. A friend of mine recently purchased an LS3 powered, rear mid-engined, low volume car called the Deronda, off BAT. Part of the reason for our mutual interest in the car (I bid against him in the auction) was a plethora of spares that went with the car, including windshields. Spares are a vital attribute for cars produced in quantities like 10 or fewer. My forthcoming Lola is a hybrid replica, consisting of original and updated parts. Only 2 were completed before a recession doomed the business. I bought a package including the car plus spare transaxle, complete spare body and more. AND the windscreen is plexiglass! Here's images of the Lola when I bought it, and what it looks like at the moment: Edited December 9, 2022 by Bruce K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croc Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 @Bruce K Bruce - I am going to start a thread in Off Topic on the non-se7en cars of Members to keep this thread focused on topic. You have (and have had) some pretty special cars that deserve a proper expanded review and photos - more than just the Lola. I for one want to know what you were drinking for to go for a Shelby Omni (but I understand as we have all had one of those big drinking nights or ten). So start getting your photos together of all your cars - current and past! I launch with one of mine and you can follow - we alternate until we both run out. Others can join in. Deal?

Sounds like fun! Lots of the folks on this forum have other sports cars, so many could join in. Regarding the Shelby Omni: I stopped in at a local dealertship to buy a truck for my business, and that little black-with-silver-stripes beauty caught my eye. I didn't own a single sports car at the moment, and the Shelby was aggressively priced. It was fitted with big gooey Yokohamas, lightweight Shelby wheels and Koni shocks, and the handling was decent. The interior was much better than anything I had experienced with my many British sporters, and the car was fast. With a little turbo-fettling, I once overhauled a Camaro IROC Z. It was also durable and relatively trouble-free. Without the inducement of any grain alcohol, I have to say I enjoyed owning and driving the car. I admit - the square Omni GLH would have made more sense dynamically, but the sleeker Shelby coupe was easier on the eye - actually kind of pretty in an '80's sort of way.

Cueball1 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 That new s1 looks interesting and priced well. Seller is not responding to questions though and I don't see a way to contact them directly. Would love more facts vs the editorial feeling of the ad. Some pics show a huge number of weird scratches in the hood too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
