have you guys looked into insuring one of these?
I'm seriously interested as it represents so many things I want in a sports car. with TVR, Lotus et al there are great value specialist insurers, but then spare parts and knowledge are far more prevalent. this really is niche.
Low mileage insurance on my Zenos is very reasonable, and that's from a manufacturer no one has heard of, and which no longer exists. If Wells are still around to replace parts, then it shouldn't be too difficult to insure.I'm seriously interested as it represents so many things I want in a sports car. with TVR, Lotus et al there are great value specialist insurers, but then spare parts and knowledge are far more prevalent. this really is niche.

Am I alone in thinking from the track pictures it looks a bit like a 70’/80’s kit car 
Actually , I think it looks far more like the kid brother of the GMA T50/T33. What I love about all of them is that they lack the phallic bulges and excrescences which seem to adorn every sporty Merc and BMW these days . If cars could speak those horrors would be loudly demanding to know who had spilled their effing pint .I have known Robin for 30+ years and know a bit about the background of the design. He took styling cues from all of his favourite cars over the years and combined them. He went as far as buying actual cars as a reference point. I know there's Ginetta and TVR Griffith in there. He was also keen on old Lancias so that's probably in the mix somewhere.
