I know that Flemke has one. I met him at the Nurburgring a few years ago and was chatting to him about it. He hasn't been on PH for some time now (about a year) so i wouldn't hold your breath about hearing from him any time soon. The car was an absolute work of art though !

There's definitely someone else on PH who has posted about their rocket.

Sounds like a tall story but an acquaintance of mine owns the company. Last I heard a few weeks back is they are putting the rocket in the next granturismo game. I'll dig out the graphic.

Flemke still has his as far as I know...I will get in touch with him and suggest he gets it along to the event...he tends to keep himself to himself so normally asks a friend to take cars to this sort of thing. He can be very generous letting his friends even drive the Macca and other exotica.

Wasn't Gordon Murray also involved in the 595 Barchetta along with Peter Stephens as the both loved the original Fiat 500.
If I remener correctly it had cast bronze script badges and an owners manual that used drawings and was hand written by either Murray or Stephens.

Ok, Flemke's car is op north being fixed (sort of) but one of his friends called Steve (will not post his surname) actually has one stored very close to Dunsfold. I am trying to get a message to him to make contact, he is a nice guy but I have not seen him for many years but one of my best friends speaks to him a lot. Local chap so should be able to sort something.

A mate of mine works there and my old boss owns one in Essex. From memory it's dark blue and they stacked it one night. Fixed now but not sure how well.

i think it was one of these in blue i was followed by through great hallingbury yesterday afternoon. He followed me for about 3 miles, he didnt get too close although i presumed he could have.
we stopped side by side at the lights at Takely , driver was about 40 with fair hair and had to take his ear plugs out to chat, he said it was called a rocket, i think mine was louder and i dont wear earplugs.
i dont think he goes on pistonheads as i havent got a "spotted" :-(

Think I'd wear earplug's driving one of these, wind noise must will be a pita at pace. Lovely cars.
