Hopefully not doomed to failure, interested to see what they come out with.

Er reliable, easy maintenance and rose-jointed suspension don't belong in the same brief. Unless regularly replacing rose-joints is someones idea of easy...

I'd prefer a few of the fasteners to be high tensile steel as well.

Never had a problem with rose joints on my caterham?! lasted 40k+ with no issues. Anyway, ball joints and bushes wear dont they...

Might be worth an email...
Clearly only at the drawing board stage but I'm intrigued. There does seem to be a gap in the market to fill.

Never mind this, I'm still waiting for that Smart Roadster based AC Ace - Project Kimber I think it was called.

Sounds expensive!

Oh deary me what a load of old c##p
Looks like something William Towns threw away

rather harsh, i quite like it, its supposed to be retro... spitfire-esque.

EDIT:
Just had a reply, no thats not the design, thats just as early concept, and the website is being built thats just a holdinh page for now.

On the positive side, there's a Cosworth version in the works as well, same engine as the BAC Mono... (that WONT be under £20k though!)
