Someone sent my brother this pic of his toy and I'm really curious, it looks pretty cool to me!

looks like a rocket.
Think it was made by Chris Craft with help from Gordon Murray?

Hahaha! I deleted the 2nd post because I saw that you had edited your one to add those two names, which allowed me to do a better search...

Thanks!

Yup, definitely that one! Cheers.

Remember seeing one at a track day running rings around every other super car there.
This was long before kits as we currently know them were as popular and easy to source.

That photo of the Dutch prime minister on the front page of the website is fab. Real daredevil - no helmet and no roll bar! I suppose it wouldn't make for a great publicity shot if you couldn't see his face

oooh - I remember Car magazine doing a feature on that car. How about a locost version?

The occupants sit side by side on that, also the badge in car I've posted looks like a Rocket one...

I'd love to see what's inside, specially with regards to its transmission, that would justify its high price tag.
