They sell car kits.  You buy their kits and assemble the car yourself.  They provide the complete parts except for the engine, transmission, break, wheel and tires.  The price is very affordable.  The most popular MK4 roadster only sells for USD $19,990.

This is the MK4 roadster,

it could be interesting to combine all parts together., however it will not work in some area or people they have no garage, workshop or technicians to help. also maintenance, service and getting an license on the road could be a problem. anyway., interesting to see this package.

回復 toppas #2 的帖子

there're a lot companies that manufacture car kit, the most famous is Caterham.

besides the logistical reasons mentioned by toppas; there're other 2 major issue here:
1) not everyoone has the skill and expertise to put the car together (e.g. Richard Hammond....)
2) some people just don't like oil on their hand (e.g. me...)

A friend tries to convience me to take a 993 fibreglass bodyshell complete with chasis and build one myself.... n I look at him and said: how about I buy it and you build it for me?

Of course this is not for everyone, but for people who likes to tinker with cars, and have the time to do it, it will make a fun project. Also, $20k for big toy is not too bad.

I have seen these cars on the road couple of times and it was really cool!  They definitely draw attentions where ever they go, and it's a hell of a thing to tell people you build it yourself!

Unfortunately I am like you, don't even want to change my own oil :)

yes, the Cobra replicas are very cool on the road (and becomes very very cold in winter or rain

they used to place a Ford or GM sourced V8 in the car, for sound, speed and price
but I heard the new trend is putting the new generation small displacement forced-induction engines

FYI, years ago, someone placed a Lamborghini V12 in a replica...
