Mom has just had a second stroke so I have to thin my herd and this is the car I have made the least progress on so it makes the most sense to sell.
I bought the molds and rights to it from Chuck Tatum back in the 80's.
Only two originals were ever built, just before the "Arab oil embargo" doubled the cost of fiberglass.
At one time I had a third car about 90% finished, but sold it and lost track of it.
These were originally VW powered, they are basically a Tatum "Wedge" FV made wider to seat two people.
Handling is identical to a Formula V.
Being FV based they used VW engines, but KEP make adapters for several others and I'm sure the clever folk here could fit a Bike engine too.
In addition to the molds I have front and rear suspension, a VW transaxle and a Porsche 914 transaxle.

The body can be built in several configurations, full body, no fenders, or modified fenders.
The red car pictured is in a Saudi Arabian collection.
