Not seen anything similar on the road before.

As you say, given the warm weather, hope they had decent aircon working in there!

Can't remember who made it or what it was called but it "unvailed" at Stafford show. They pulled the sheet off it to mild laughter. It was made for a guy who wanted something that looked like a fighter jet and if memory serves had a Volvo donor.

It looks like a tandem seating arrangement with the rear seat sitting higher, almost like a fighter plane cockpit, it even has a step

I don't have a view of the rear of the car but it does look pretty broad ended.

it is very distinctive

Built by John at Vindicator cars. The guy who paid for the build did indeed want a fighter jet for the road & that's pretty much what he finished up with.

It was largely Mondeo based IIRC, Duratec lump with an auto box - probably why it's broad at the rear. I thought it was rather imaginative, but most people seem to hate it, but then my tastes seem a little more eclectic than most!





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Fantastic car, but for some reason I want it to have huuuuge rear wheels!

I've never seen it at any of the shows though, I'd certainly remember it. Is there only one?
