Life is not all about money Anthony, you have followed your dream and created something to be proud of, that counts for an awful lot in my book.

Just had a great weekend at the Donington Kit Car show!
Complete Kit Car magazine purchased a Bertini Kit and built it during the two days of the show.
I have a few photos of the build at the show on the Bertini GT25 facebook site. But I thought I would share a link of a video I took of
the guys at Complete Kit Car Magazine celebrating finishing the kit on Sunday afternoon.
They managed to strip their Z3 2.8 and fit the kit + electrics, ready to paint over the two day show (just 12 working hours). The two builders had kit car construction experience. But had never stripped a Z3 or built a Bertini prior to the show!

I know a Welsh guy that does that.

lucky they are planning on replacing the tyres when they get new 18" wheels.... 
Amazing what those kit cars can do!

It's been a pretty busy summer. But I have finished editing the donington show build video. It shows the guys from Complete Kit Car Magazine building a Bertini for the first time. It took two of them 12 working hours to finish ready for finishing and painting.

That's interesting to see it from start to (almost) finish. Only twelve hours though, I though the whole kit car thing was that it consumes every spare minute of your life for several years

That's the plan Gaz. Something that is s little easier to build. Getting away from all the complicated stuff that gets badly assembled.
Less building more driving sounds like a good strap line for your brochures. One of our members bought a failed Westfield kit car project a couple of months back and I do wonder how many projects actually make it on the road...

I have seen how difficult it is to make a Westfield. I can say with confidence that all of the Bertini kits that have been sold will make it to the road. All the owners have sensible budgets and are more than capable of building the car. This makes me very happy
I stand by my prediction Anthony that you have a winner and will be very successful with it. Just be patient and the orders will come!
Off topic do you have Boston green left side mirror complete in your parts bin by chance? JIM

Wait a while Jim, then White will be a colour match.

I have a pair of silver ones.
Are they electric and heated? How much? JIM

I'm not sure. They came off my 3.0 2001 Z3. I replaced them with Z3M ones. Expensive mod and pretty pointless I recon.
Bertini GT25 added 2 new photos.
Dave's Bertini has had the twin central exhausts completed! I think they look awesome. Let Scotland ring with the roaring sound of his straight six BMW powered Bertini GT25

Had a great day at brands hatch with the Bertini GT25. It performed really well keeping up with most of the more track focused westfields etc. Very very wet and loads of tail happy fun!
