Not listing on the NZX as far as I am aware, but seeing as some people round here appear to have money to burn:

The cars look very nice but I am surprised that they would be street legal with their pointy front end not looking to pedestrian impact friendly.

Company Website (http://www.hulmesupercars.com/) and

This one is road legal:

so it shouldn't be a problem.

If I had a few million, I would through them a few thousand.

Thanks for reminding me PT - now thats a Co I'll be looking at more closely.

Look at our more recent IPO's and offerings. Tasman Capital - Punters were willing to biff $500 into the wind. Pulse - money for a SMART meter that no one really wants. DIL - web based governance (yawn); KAT a brand with repackaged gear - ho hum. And candles - bloody chunks of wax for my money!

But a supercar built with real kiwi ingentuity, fantastic design and precision engieering for a niche market. Now thats something to get excited about! Especially if you get 7 litres of gas guzzling pointy bit up the arse end of a greenie!

I built one these from a kitset ... Wonderful car. Zero depreciation (well almost). So light it was both very economical and incredably quick off the mark 0-100 in about 4.5 seconds from a 2.2 litre engine... and could stop on a dime. Even great in the winter with the cockpit being toasty warm, snug and dry ... Ah how I miss it!

thanks for the links.I have just returned from a wonderful week touring Northland and with great roads that would suite a Lotus 7 would think it is time for you to build another.
I drove a couple that had 1600cc motors and they were quick so 2.2 litre would have been fun!!!
