This car was a two seater and was made between 1971-1974, having a glass-reinforced polyester body powered by a rear mounted, Hillman Imp 875cc engine at a 45 degree angle, developing 51 bhp @ 6100 rpm. The care weighed merely 610 odd kgs therefore the engine achieved a top speed of 160 kmph. The company unfortunately had little success with the car as it was expensive at its time. the company also tried selling the car as a kit but by 1974 the oil crises had set in and no one wanted a sports car even if it were economical. The company thus closed down in 1974 making as few as 315 cars only.
