Default test drive

Hi all
As you say not all kit car manufactures have demo cars to test drive.Years ago I went to gtm cars in loughborough to check out their car.They didn't have one either,but took me for a spin in a customers car.Wouldn't let me drive it because of legal responsibility, needless to say I never purchased!
I was lucky enough to drive a deon owned by a guy not too far from me who was selling as deon never had a demo car either.My son went to tiger sportscars to look at their cars recently and caught them out too. Somebody else was out in it!! But it is a good idea to try before you buy.And never pay for anything you cannot see or feel with your own hands.It's true the kit car scene does seem to be awash with dodgy delboy types that in any other walks of life just wouldn't get away with it.
