Tracking Down my Builder.....
MakeEverything - 29/12/10 at 10:21 PM

I bought my car as a non-runner, got it on the road and am now undertaking an engine transplant with supercharger etc (as some of you will know).

I have some information (verbal) from the guy that owned the car before me regarding its history (half of which i think is crap), but would like to find out more. Does anyone know anything about / if these guys still exist? - Their website doesnt, and ill try the phone numbers tomorrow.

Motion Car Development
6 Campion Way
Boughton Vale
Rugby
Warwickshire
CV23 0UR

Tel: 01788-338090 or 07843-590347
Fax: 01788-338090

Official website:
www.avelle-cars.com

The car (my avatar) is registered as an "AGT Sports", from which i presume is the reference to "Avelle GTA" somewhere. Id like to find out more.

Any information greatly received.

web archive's pretty cool
doesn't really give you much more info than you already have though

website doesn't seem to have been about since 2008 i think

I was there that year Claire - probably 2004/5 and I sat in that car too. It was on my shortlist before I plumped for my Aeon. I decided that the bodywork needed some more development but it certainly had promise, and by the sound of your last post [ME], that's already in hand
