It's a Midtec Spider designed by Mr Noble no less. (While sitting on a toilet I'm told)

Looks like someone's body manufacturing process has gone off on one.

Apparently Noble is still manufacturing the shells, but I don't know how old that piece of info is. The postal address is the same as for all the other Noble projects. Noble Moy Automotive Ltd. 6 Moat Way Industrial Estate Barwell Leicestershire

Hi, It is a Midtec Spider, built from ( by heart ) 1992 to 1997 by the Midtec company, which also marketed the ( ex-Midas ) Bronze. I think another company aquired the rights to the car and last year it was offered in the USA only I think.

It's a Midtec Spider, mid engined creation. Handling is superb, but looks like a duck billed platypus, I can see why it didnt take off, but was designed by Lee Noble, responsible for the Ultima and the Noble M10.

this is the first scaled prototype of the batmobile (or, if you prefer, the remains of the batmobile after it crashed at 100 mph against a wall) however, it's veeeery low...that's not bad!

And they called the Midtech "The Seven for the Nineties" glad I stuck with Richard Oakes Nova.
Long before Vauxhall nicked the name

Looks like it got a few styling cues from the Pelland (nee Rembrandt, nee Listair Dash).

All of which were a lot prettier than the Midtec
