And the new Sylva is called the J15
Click the link below.
New Sylva Model
Then vote accordingly.
**Update**
The pressure of we anoraks on tinterweb seems to have been effective.
It's now finally called the Sylva J15.
I would be proud to have a car with that name.
Shindig indeed...

Could have called it the firefly
or the Sylva shadow
Shindig may refer to:
* Shindig!, a '60s American music variety television show
* "Shindig" (Firefly), an episode of the television series Firefly
* Shindig (software), an open-source project
* "Shindig", a song by The Shadows
* Shindig, refers to a party or social gathering.

Now that is one of the worst names I have ever heard for a car... if I bought one and it came with the name 'shindig' on any component,
then I'd remove it before the car had its first public outing!
Truly terrible name!

Just came on here to ask about driveshaft experiences, went to this link first.
Jeremy... what are you doing?
Beautiful car, dreadful name.
'Spectre' was far more alluring
I'm still predicting a R1oT when I move house....

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

It's a very strange interior considering the curves of the body. I think it should have been "softened" a bit.
Sylva do like their funny angles though don't they? I suppose they will say it's part of the heritage or something.

Not unbraced they don't, but I do wonder why people see a picture of the one car they've made with a single hoop and assume they're
all like that - they aren't.
On the subject of names Shindig is rubbish.
Shadow has been used on a car by Rolls Royce  and the lawyers will be around again if they try it.
p.s. This link show the reason Spectre will have caused a solicitors letter the quick name change.

Jeremy has confirmed that the single roll bar hoop can be braced similar to the Lotus 19 style.
Other cars have used double roll bar hoop or traditional rectangular braced bar.

Like the looks, hate the name - really good and low at the back unlike a lot of other rear engine kits out there.

Strange front-engined looks for a mid-engined car. Lotus 19 lookalike?

What ws wrong with Spectre. I liked that name.
I like the car too, and if I ever build one then I'm going to get a name badge made up to say "Sylva Spectre" as there's no
way it's getting called a Shindig in my garage!

Another company has already register the name as a trademark for a car.

Though interestingly the filing date is after the sylva was launched.
