Was discussing with a friend , yesterday, a kit car that we used to see driving round near home.
Can any one tell us what it may have been ?
It had two seats-tandem style- one behind the other.
The body shape was in the same vein as a 50s/60s Formula one but with cycle wings.
The wheels were definately Renault-alloys from a 70,s R5 Gordini (three spoke-three stud).
Im pretty sure the (rear mounted) engine was as 4 cyl Renault unit and was mounted in-line.
Must have been pretty light and seemed to go well.

Any one know what it could have been ?
Thanks.
Darren.

Definatly not bike engined-last saw it about 5 years ago-so wahtever it was its probably about 7-10 years old by now.
Were there any kits using R5 Mechaicals ?
Also could have been a complete one-off.
Thinking back-was very similar to Atom shape.
