I really think the old Kamala kit (originally by Dax, and later by a new company, Kamala Cars, that deserves to be slapped for the grotesque Kamala Futuro they created) is amazing, and wish it had been more of a market hit… It’s a daring (and I think successfully executed) piece of design work, that on a Ford V6 could do 0-60mph in under four seconds and surpass 160mph (450BPH per ton or more).
Anyway, my old friend David Betts was able to take this one out for a week long review drive while they were still being made by Dax (this is a first generation car). Here’s some more photos of it that he took:

Hi. I have a silver Kamala. A Dax Model No. 30, and I think it was the last to come from DJ Sports before they sold the project to the bunch of donkeys who currently own it.
I can say I have only ever seen one bad example of this car from the original Dax group, and I cant for obvious reasons say who it was.
Mine also has TV/DVD etc., as well as proximty alarms and full VOX system. The car is based on a Cosworth Silver Top and has a full race spec computer system. The interior was build by a Rolls Royce specialist in full black leather and carbon fiber.

I own one – there are more than 7 in the world, the company built a few more than that (at least basic kits) but not That many more. Mine is Chassis 28 and original from DAX before they sold it. 600bhp? Possibly, but I doubt it. The Ford V8 wouldn’t fit in it (and i’d know, I built one) the biggest engine that went in was the Mondeo / Ford V6. Mine is a 300bhp Cosworth Turbo and is currently rotting in the garage, i’m afraid to say
Soon it will be back on the road though, i’m determined!

Colleen,
You say that there are only 7 in the world? I’m one of the people who should have got one as I think they are fantastic. Now I look for unwanted kits but Australia is a long way from where they are made.

An original British kit car that has the looks of a recent new Lotus sports cars with the shape of a wedge looking car. Virtualy any 4 cylinder donor car mechanicals can be used on the Kamala say the makers of it. Many are already on the road and they can be homebuilt or can be made at their Harlow Essex factory where each car is handbuilt there. At least its not a rubbish replica like many are around today in England and USA.
dreams come true…
