Toniq R to go into Production?

Three companies interested

Genuinely great raw home-grown sports car or yet another bike engined Lotus 7 development? What do we think guys?

Personally I'd like to see someone produce a development of the classic Lotus 23. I know Mamba and Martyni do replicas, but something a bit more advanced would be great - a mid-engined Fisher Fury, if you will.

(re Xanthos) - Dammit, now I want one - kina part 23, part Ferrari P4, but still a 'giant killer' in the Chapman tradition and a fitting tribute to Jim Clark

Too true roadrunner - just look at Dutton and all those other companies trying to offer 'different' Sevens, the hideous Sylva Leader being a case in point, even though it's probably great to drive.
P.S.- I've got this great idea for a cheap-to-produce conversion kit for an Aston Martin Virage replica. Obviously, I'm not technical, it was just an idea, but has anyone got any addresses?
