Body Design


The Body

This is what really first attracted me to this car, I saw the shape, despite the quality of the picture I could see it was a very nice design. The shape  looks a lot better in the flesh than in pictures, most of the detail lines don't show up. It is thought that Bill Barranco is responsible for some of the overall design shape and style of the car.
By coincedence this was conceived at I.A.D (Internatlional Automotive Design) just down the road from us in Worthing. I am not sure how much Frank Costin was involved in the shape and look of the car but the front does remind me of a Lotus 11.

The page shows pictures of the body as wells as manufacturing pictures of subsequent bodies and other glassfibre parts that go to make up the car, all taken in our workshop. The screen surround has taken quite some time as it was a matter of starting from scratch.
