Is there a current importer of the San Storm car in the UK?

I've read that reliant was once (or still) importing them but can't find any info or website.

Are they even in production ? Website looks a little "dormant" at the moment.

According to Wikipedia - Dream Machines of Heathfield took over from Reliant, but they have also ceased trading.

A quick glance at Parkers Guide online suggests San Storm has not been available in the UK since 2011.

OK, thanks for the info.

Strange that it was not a succes in Renault minded France.
I seem to think of it like Quantum with their Fiesta based kitcars.

Is it me or are these type of kit cars (small sporting car with complete donor from an existing car) no longer wanted or in production.

I know Quantum stopped doing them, San likewise. I don't know of any other kit car company who makes something similar.

Funnily enough I came across this last week:

Must admit, I was a little suspicious of the "... all you need is a DVLA inspection ..."

Liquidation stock maybe?
