love the look and the name suits 
bookmarked for future reference but I would have serious pre purchase concerns about passing B&T testing
further reading suggests they would be prepared (and have the ability) to do a RHD version but are yet to complete one.

For some reason "Australia" has found the Catfish this week; we've had lots of inquiries.
We have easy access to RHD clips (the front end of a Miata) that come from Japan, and can build a RHD frame easily; the changes are minimal. The dash and hood mould would need to be opened, but that too is not a major issue.
I'm well aware of the torsion testing. Our frame is made for V8 power, and is far stronger than what is required. FEA testing shows a torque rating several times that of your minimum requirements.
received the above from Cord Bauer, thought it was worth sharing.

Why? You looking at expanding your range of offerings?
that shed of yours in Newcastle will have to be know as "Shed of Kit Cars".

was thinking about it but from his reply, I get the feeling that he doesn't want to branch out at the moment.
I'd love to have a shed of kit cars, just have to get rid shed of trailers first.
