Hi JNR77, I can tell you pretty much anything about the car as I now own it!
That was an early picture (not sure where it was taken though) the car later had side panels and a rear spoiler fitted plus a carbon fibre type can.
There were two built by Robin Davies over in South Wales, the original red one (mine!! yeehaww!!) and then later he built himself a yellow one which
now resides in the Manchester area and is currently a track only car. Mine is the only road legal one on the planet (yeehaww again!!)
The car is nowt short of amazing and will give any Atom a run for it's money. It has a Suzuki GXSR1000 engine right behind your head, sequential
gearbox with a flatshifter up and down the box and a Quaife ATB LSD from a Radical. At only 450kgs needless to say it goes like a stabbed rat!
I have seen the Warner R4 and AdiT is correct they are amazingly similar! I have no idea which was finished 1st though but I am sure neither builder
knew about the others efforts until much later. In fact if you Google images of the R4 the picture above of the ASBO comes up in about 5th place!!
Your link to the R4 does not seem to work btw AdiT. Try this one... http://www.warnercars.com/
Here are a few pics taken at various places (Castle Combe, Llandow, ADC Sunday meeting Queen Square Bristol)
Amazing likeness across this and the R4, but I suppose with th Atom as inspiration, not surprising.
What is surprising is neither are in production. I'd have one.

I agree, thus is one if the nicer exo cars I have seen. I think the Deronda is probably the best, love the shark nose but thus is in another class of
price. The latest versions of the MeV designs at Exo cars look good as well, may be an alternative. http://www.exosportscars.co.uk/sve_exotech.html.

Thanks everyone for the info
was hoping to buy plans for it
but looks like that's not going to happen
thank you for your reply's
Hi, I am the current owner and know both the creator and the previous owner plus the owner of the yellow one currently for sale. There are no plans
for the car that I am aware of but I can always ask for you.
There are only two ever made and including myself only 4 people have been lucky enough to own either of them. As I say, the yellow one is up for sale
by it's current owner Jason. I will no doubt sell mine one day but not just yet!!
Still learning to drive the thing on track!! The car looks a lot better now than it did in the picture earlier in he thread btw. Exige rear spoiler
and side panels help a lot.

Cracking car.
Not a criticism, as you’ve probably found clutch less upshifts now and they work best when “pressing on ‘.
Yes indeed, I found that out when I first got the car. It's just that at Castle Combe that day the Flatshift sensor was broken so had no choice
but to use the clutch pedal.
