Here's one I'd never heard of. Not bad looking but ahead of it's time.

Wow... where did you find that at? I've been looking at this pic for about three months, thinking it was a clean little one-off jobbie...

Its kind of an odd mix of Elan, TR, Bug-eye(frog-eye) and 7...

Very nice little car. I saw one at a kit car show back in the early 90's. It had RX7 drivetrain. The guy who was building them was a really nice guy but he lost the company in a divorce. I don't think very many were built.

Motorweek built one of these on the show years ago, then gave it away to a viewer.

There's currently one that shows up on "Bring a Trailer", that's for sale on Craigslist in Atlanta.

There also is a video of a "Motorweek" show back in 1991 that introduced the car.

Very interesting little car.
