Hmm think you may find the vega cars provided a lot of turnover in there time,saw many more vegas than preds, the RB5 vega was both popular and bloody good! and great workmanship and design so saying it's sh@* is a little stupid, the problem with the vega creations is there time was limited, once the major manufacturers got the hang of mid motor design expensive conversions had had their day! Personally I think the RB5 vega was one of the best after market kits ever made,it made the RB5 a fantastic high grip car,its quality was second to non and it was deadly simple no quirky linkages or cheep week points were costs had been cut, but its time was limited from the moment it was designed.

But in reply to your post I seriously doubt a small firm could survive in the UK supplying pred alone the market was just not big enough, the pred is a has been, just to long in the tooth, not saying it's naff, just the market has moved on, In the right hands the RC10worlds is still a very fast car, but if AE was still pushing it as there car 20+years on how big would there total 2wd market share be today?

Best car ever made? stiff competition from the RC!0 and the xx4. both cars used as the bench mark for many 2wd and 4wd cars for many years.

When you read back through all the posts your answer is already there as to why extreme closed it's doors both the pred and the vega had had its day, the market had gone, moved on they just got left behind sadly
