First Invicta Delivered

Just 11 months from debut to delivery

That's the way to do it boys.

[Swilly]

I think the Invicta does better what Aston Martin should be doing in terms of appearances.

Loved it at the Motor and still love!!!

[cacatous]

Doesn't it look good in Black?!

What does it sound like though?

[james]

Well done lads. I saw the prototype at the Motor Show and was very impressed with it. Maybe TVR should take a leaf out of their book.

Cracking car. I hope they sell and sell.

[Lotusacbc]

Ill take the black one please!

Beautiful car.

[ScoobyManchester]

Beautiful, especially in black

[Mrs_T]

It looked good at the motor show but I really want to hear that engine. Well done! Karen

[Davey S1]

Good to see another exampe of Britain leading the way in handbuilt sports cars.

Black for me too BTW

[johnny senna]

Yup, I'm very pleased for them too. I like the black one.

Invicta Website said:

Invicta calculates that the S1 will return 25 mpg overall, giving a comfortable 500 mile range from the 21.9 gallon (100-litre) fuel tank.

Invicta Website also said:

the S1 features a filler on each rear wing so that the fuel tank can be replenished from either side.

They seem to have thought about absolutely EVERYTHING.

And they've even included the thoughts in the design of the car.

One nice touch is the inclusion of a 100-litre petrol tank

"Dial 999! The guy at pump 7 has just collapsed. No, I'm not kidding you - he looked up at the display and just keeled over..."

Good luck to em.
Nice to see another Brit sportscar manufacturer and I hope they last.

Profound applause well and truly deserving. Marvellous.

I'd like to add my similar thoughts re it's appearance in black - KILLER!

(Nice to see an MP piping up in such a magnificently, unapologetically pro-performance car way too. )

[JonRB]

Does the production car still have the one-piece body of the show car? It's bad enough having a TVR where damage to one panel involves a lengthy wait whilst the factory decide whether to make one or not, but the thought of having to replace the entire body after a shunt is pretty scary.

Edit: Good on them though. Looks like a nice car.

Well done Invicta.

[TheLemming]

Got to agree on this one. The silver car looks pretty good, but in black the Invicta looks MEAN

[bermuda]

Would love to see if they are available engineless for the American market...

[hazie]

That's my christmas pressie sorted then. With a full tank please Santa

[fizz]

Have there been many orders?

Car looks great--wish Invicta much success and hope the take out of Noble's book and produce some of the car in South Africa to make it price competitive...
