Description

For many of us, our journey with a car starts in a showroom. But for some individuals, it starts in a shed.

The fibreglass build-it-yourself kit cars of the 70s offered a chance to swap the rule book for some brand new parts and plans. Outlandish original designs, luxury replicas and sporty looks were all on the table for a fraction of the price - provided you didn’t mind spending hundreds of hours working for it…

In this episode, hear from those who don’t mind thinking ‘out of the box’ when it comes to what they want from a car, and from the entrepreneur who made his name building the Australian kit car that would go down in history - the Purvis Eureka.
