This is a one-of-one bespoke build and as such its value to include the provenance of the original car, number 148 of 500 and the build value and will be in excess of £250,000. 

We have created initial ideas for the look and feel of the finished car and the specification will be determined as we go through the build and engineering phases. We intend to include Members in how this car will evolve through design competitions and polls.

If you are in the UK mainland Vision148 will deliver the car to your address, or should you wish to pick the car up from our build partners in Silverstone that would also be possible.

This is a sophisticated build and Sarthe Cars AKA Vision148 has teamed up with recognised specialists and partners to create a very special car.

Sarthe Cars Ltd is the registered keeper of the car and is the legal entity for the Vision148 project.

The car is being built by Sarthe Cars however, should circumstances beyond the control of Sarthe Cars determine that it is impossible to complete the car the prize will be withdrawn from the Autovision platform.
