That guy is having one hell of a time selling those things. He has not sold one on ebay yet.....although he has listed them at least 10 times......maybe someone is privately emailing him to get sales?

look at the cockpit...those seats are way too "race". You cannot even get in and out without being a contortionist (spelling).

Westfields and Caterhams are in the UK all over, but no one has ever heard of WCM.....no heritage and no comfort...and lots of depreciation....

Neat idea, just wrong car.....and too pricey.

Too pricey? What can you get for that price that is even close to it in performance? Nothing. Have you checked out the price of a Caterham R500, the only one they make that can touch the WCM -$50,000+. he is selling plenty, 3 month waiting list to get a car.

It is perfectly legal here. Fenders have nothing to do with it, take the Plymouth Prowler for instance. Ford also has some kinda car like the prowler, although it has a 5.4 V8

When you only make 1 every 3 months....... i guess there may be a waiting list.

Joking around.... there is more to the picture than just performance and price.... try to sell a used one.... where is the market.... no heritage, no background. At least the Caterhams and Westfields have been around forever.

That same guy has not sold one for $28k on ebay ever.....he lists them and they go away....then he lists again....and they go away....

Neat idea like I said, just not the right car unless you plan to keep it forever....
