?? there's about 7 being built now as we speak, that's without it being released yet officially

I picked up my boxster for £3200 with 55k on the clock with full history,
or you can get the 987 model for about £5k up depending on spec

I understand the logic, but to be fair, DNA have a great track record on quality.

Sorry, I was referring to the Starke Boxter based speedster (USA).

That shouldn't stop you, plenty of UK kits have made it over the USA.


This one isn’t being made as a kit though.

I’ve imported a kit to the US before from the UK, it pretty painless with the help of the right shipper. Funnily it was the first DNA kit shipped over here. Great quality. Hence being a bit of a DNA fan boy.

I’m sure it will drive better than my JPS 356 coupe or my intermeccanica speedster. After around 50mph on the freeway, they got so light in the front, it was an ‘exciting’ ride - which you don’t always want.

I’ve watched the development and final output of the Starke version and the back end of it is just plain nasty. The one built by West Coast Customs wasn’t much better. Hats off to Brian and gang for getting this one to look so good.

Great article. Looks superb. But starting at 50k turnkey may be challenging with 2010 911 Carrera cabriolet available for less.

Fingers crossed for it

That's excellent! 2019 looking good then. It is a beauty.

Lovely looking car,

Panel and paintwork looks spot on as per usual from the DNA team.

Good to see Total Headturners on board as distributor. Mark's a good guy, works 27 hour days and will be good ambassador

Love the French overseer :D

Oh and the wheels ? They banded steels ? If so what off originally ?

Very nice motor indeed. If I was awash in funds I would want one. Best thing you can do to a boxster. iMVHO
