DEAL DIRECT WITH THE FACTORY

Factory assembled cars are one thing but we appreciate that many enthusiasts enjoy the build experience as much as the finished product and, in this instance, we feel it is important that you deal direct with us here in the UK. Nobody knows more about the assembly of an Ultima than the guys that build them at the Hinckley factory.
With easy and quick communication via email, face-to-face technologies and the ability to quickly send electronic images across the globe, getting complete support direct from the factory before and during your project couldn’t be easier.

TYPICAL KIT PACKAGE

As with UK specification kits, overseas customers can purchase anything from a base chassis package to a comprehensive kit including every last nut and bolt required for the build.

No matter what level of kit you order, all parts are carefully packaged and clearly marked for easy storage and subsequent assembly by the builder. Each build stage supplied is 100% complete containing every last nut and bolt required to complete that section which makes the build extremely straightforward.

EASE OF BUILD

The Ultima requires neither a great degree of engineering ability, nor any specialized equipment to complete. The cars are designed by the factory to be assembled by a builder who has only basic automotive knowledge and an elementary tool kit. The majority of our customers have never built a car before and have successfully completed their Ultima cars to an excellent standard.

The average build period for an Ultima supercar is six months (on a part time basis) but the whole idea of building this supercar is to take your time and enjoy the build. The UK factory fully builds several cars per year to order, which means the assembly process has been finely tuned and the kits are fully sorted and proved.

Ultima self-assembly supercars must be the only originally designed component cars that use all new parts and are developed specifically for the enthusiast to build in his garage at home.

ULTIMA ENGINEERING

As the specialist areas of the build have already been carried out by the factory there is no welding or fabrication required. All the brackets required to fit the different components have been designed, fabricated and tested by the factory and are included in the kit. Also, all the parts that the factory supplies are new so require no cleaning, degreasing, de-rusting or further preparation prior to assembly.

ENGINE

The choice of power plant for the Ultima is the all-American Chevy small block V8. Ranging from 430bhp to over 1200bhp. It's simply the ideal engine for the Ultima.

What's more, because of its mid-mounted location behind the driver and in front of the rear wheels the mass of the engine is ideally placed in the car - providing optimum weight distribution for top-flight handling and road holding and where power can be delivered to the road cleanly and with the minimum of fuss. This is a package that delivers at every level.

INSTRUCTIONS

There is an online Ultima Build Manual available at:

www.ultimaownersresource.com

This raises the bar in our industry and takes the successful Ultima marque to the next level.

The online build manual content can only be accessed by Ultima chassis owners and deposit holders via secure online access.

REGISTRATION IN THE USA

Registration procedures vary from State to State but generally involve the builder keeping all receipts and having a police inspection of the car once it is complete (aimed largely at establishing clear ownership of the car). The factory will provide all the paperwork in this respect. In the UK the Ultima has already been designed to pass the stringent IVA test (Individual Vehicle Approval).

The car must then be taken to your nearest State approved service centre for further technical inspection. Finally, both police and garage certificates must be presented at your nearest registration office where the car will be registered as a self-built car.

However, we must stress that you should check clearly as to the specific requirements in your State.
