Last week I test drove the ListerBell (in the wet), the initial feeling getting into the car was one of a well put together piece of kit, the finish both inside the cab and under both clams was to a very high standard.
The sound insulation inside the cab is just about right…. Whilst you are dawdling around it is fairly quiet but press the throttle and it lets you hear the fantastic sound track of the Alfa V6 without being deafening.
Out on the road the first impression was of a very sturdy car that inspired confidence, the suspension was set up as “road” spec and was very reassuring along the bumpy country roads, the steering was precise and with the slightest movement of the steering wheel the front of the car responded instantly.
Generally the car grips, turns and stops as good as most production sports cars…… impressive
Having said all that, at the end of the day it all comes down to the individual builder and his ability to prepare and set the car up.
Just want a drive in the dry now on a track !!
Cheers
Phil
