With the right colour and wheels, thats gonna be quite a good lookalike. They look good, wonder what the door fit/shut lines are like and stuff.

Casting my mind way back I remember the article from 2000. Company was a grp boat builder IIRC. Seem to remember it got a good write up, but that means very little .

It does look very elisish

Presumably FWD but for someone looking for a body for a Locost style chassis!?

Looks like a decent opportunity for someone to me!

It's a mid engine.

You can hardly call the design original, but then again; what are we all building?

I like it, and it would be good if someone gets it on the market. I would be up for one in due time.

Being a little suspicious, how does Lotus feel about this? They didn't seem to like it when Westfield copied the seven or was that Caterham?

That was Caterham, hence the adverts you see for 'Pre-Litigation' or 'Pre'Lit' Westfields and thet fact that said cars look an awful lot more like Caterhams than the post-litigation models do.
Back to the Larini, nice looking car I s'pose as long as you don't use Lotus badges they can't say much, can they?

Erm, I think you upset someone posting those pictures.

Another company to blacklist on general principles methinks.
