Quantum 2+2 1.6 Convertible

Had mine a week and cant fault it.Red with both Hard and Soft tops. 1600 CVH engine

got mine free? been stood 2 years!£50 spent for pre MOT and passed.

good performance for a ford 1600cc cvh. handling and ride great.

amazing economy. and puts a smile on your face with the hood down.

quick and easy roof up and down, massive boot.

owned a quantum coupe before but this is much better.

super build quality, best glassfibre body I've seen and very, very strong.

get yourself one (not mine)

The overall engineering & torsional strength say a lot for the designers ability. Uses Ford XR2 mechanical components - no hassle getting mechanical parts. The driving experience is very good, the storage capacity is excellent for a sports car, the boot will hold suitcases etc. with space to spare. Overall a very practical car a strong GRP body, no rust problems here.

I built my Quantum 2+2 1.6 convertible kit car as a "kit-in-a-box" with everything brand new from the factory - engine, gearbox etc right down to a new key fob! The car looked great in its factory metallic paint and was fun to drive on a sunny day with the hood down, but the steering was very heavy for parking, the roadholding wasn't too brilliant with strong understeer on corners and the ride was spine-jarringly hard until I fitted softer springs and dampers. The performance from the 1.6 CVH engine was okay but it was no road burner and I quickly tired of the whole experience. The XR2 components also proved to be fairly unreliable and troublesome. As a second car bought cheaply for using on the occasional sunny summer day it would be okay, but only if it was built to a very high standard of workmanship and the hard ride had been sorted out.
