I would really love to see the project. Nigel, please let me know how much are you guys spending to make this project happen. Please let me know. Even I am interested in building one for myself, but something a little bit different. Thanks again. Waiting for a reply

Dear Racing Hart

Nigel is an enthusiast Designers and not the commercial guys in the market.

My main motto of introducing Nigel to this community is only on the basis that this guy is the one I have met who is not in lookout for money but challenges, yes he would charge for his efforts but you would be grounded to know his expectations, so less for so much of an effort.

Mate, come down to Pune, put forth your plans and you would be amazed to know the cost thats so affordable to make your dreams come true.

By the way Nigel is also registered, I would say NIGEL PLEASE REPLY THIS

REITZ

hi everyone soo sorry for no replies. we are actually running around for a v8. and guess what? we are very close.

i wont let out the details till we have the engine with us.. so will be back as soon as we can.

NigelLopez · 4th November 2009, 07:42

Hi Again.
Got to disagree with Reitz this time on the cost, yes i'm passionate about the stuff i do, and have done, but it pinches when it comes to money, most of the time i get stuck cos a customer cant cough up the money on time, resulting in delay to one bike which has a cascading effect to other projects as well as overall morale.

In Modifications we sometime win and sometimes lose, hence my disagreement.
we are in the process as upgrading the workshop with some equipment as well and need money for that, and in future costing is definetely going to be moving upwards, maybe Expensive, but still Sane.

We were the other day in Bombay and enquired with Varde on his bullets and were stunned when he Quoted 6.5 Lacs for a non legal Cruiser.

So there we go Reitz

Just a request if you can keep customer discussions out and continue the focus on the build please.

Glued to this thread!
That sketch is fantastic!
I've always wondered how genuinely hot-roding the Conti and the Amby will look!
My dream project is the Poison Amby.This is just a sketch.Hope it materializes one day!

All the best for this one of a kind old school project.Also have roll bars in the interior of the car to prevent the chassis from bending while rapid acceleration.

This is a very interesting five star thread in the making. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. I would really appreciate it if we could have some (many)pictures of the work in various stages as it progesses. All the best to you guys. My instincts tell me we have something really special coming up !
