2001 Birkin S3 1965 Lotus 7 Replica review from North America
"One word: WOW!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight circuit blows fuses - well, I just drive it in the daytime; however, I would like them to work!
General comments?
WOW! This car is a rocket with about 1250 pound curb weight and a warmed over 2.0 liter Zetec, it is seriously quick.
The handling is out of this world. Drives like a race car, rides like a race car, it is a race car with street equipment.
Not my only car, thank God! I have a C3500 truck for hauling and a 1948 MG TC for its looks. Had a 2000 Volkswagen Passat 4-Motion until it got totalled out in a freak hailstorm about a month ago. Hope to replace the Passat with a Miata so I will have to choose between three of the greatest sportcars in the world.
