Chatting with a friend today & I just cannot recall the name of a kit car - make & model.
To my eyes, back then, it was very good looking & had 6 headlights (3 each side). I thought it was a Proteus, but had a Quick Look on google & doesn’t show what I recall.
Any suggestions?

If that's very good looking, I think I might need glasses wink

The Hensen M30 was equally good looking in 1985. Not so sure now. Better than the Proteus in any case.

The Deltayn Pegassus which followed was much better (sorry I don't have a pic)

It certainly has traces of AM Lagonda front end. Equally horrific.
