A kitcar conversion is a good idea. What would you go for?

I'd like to get one that needs a bit of work
Maybe an abandoned Robin Hood build or a Westfield that needs some work. I'd even think about restoring a landrover

That's because they are brought to you by the good people that made the Reliant Robin.

The last generation robin had a top speed of about 90mph.
You'd have to have some bottle to try that.

Ooh no!
Too much like hard work - a fibreglass body that old is a world of never-ending pain. Mechanicals wouldn't be too bad, I just wouldn't tackle one.

I'm a mine of information
Some useful on a daily basis, some useful on occasion, some you may only need once in a lifetime.
