ah but whilst they do make cars, their biggest selling point is that they sell them in kit form which is how the majority of people buy them ;)

So whilst they are technically a Supercar manufacturer, most of the work is now done from a kit (and they tend to sell better in America because the snobby English dont tend to see anything other than Ferrari, Porsche or Lamborghini as Supercars :(


But we do still have the Noble ;) and given that Lee Noble designed and built the Ultima's to start with before selling the company off to work with the Noble projects there is still plenty of Supercar heritage in the UK ;)

A shame for the Blackpool workforce but at least B&Q up there wont run out of bathroom silicon sealant anymore ;) :D

I'd love a Ultima GTR but you would have to spend in the region of £40,000 to get a decent one :eek:

And £40,000 would buy you a lot of Porsche and a decent Ferrari :grin2
