A true work of art! I’d love to see what the designers of cars like this would do today.

Didn’t Ace and Gary drive one of these?

Looks really similar to the 2009 Morgan Aero Maxor…probably viceversa!

There is a guy in Chicago that is restoring one of these right now. It is not the exact same care but close. There were 12 of these made and only 8 in existence and the one he is working on is the only one that hasn’t been restored.
Currently the car is in France getting body work done.

He just got a copy of the original drawings from the car too. Each of these cars, although the same model all had it’s unique characteristics.
