Interesting history from the mainstream press.........but strange that it falls under the remit of their Court and Crime Reporter!

I always thought they looked cute, in a mini-Aston sort of way, and more exclusive than the Scimitar of that era.

The Invader bears a striking resemblance to a slightly out of shape Alfa Giulia Sprint GT.

My brother used to have one.

The GT is a smashing little car, I went to look at one a few months back, but failed to do a deal.

That patronising headline format (. . . you've never heard of) only serves to infuriate the reader, despite which it is used widely.

That early 70's oil crisis is the final paragraph of so many stories of low volume makers of really cool cars. Such a shame. That prototype looked very interesting.

Always liked the look of them - are they any good ?

Has anyone on here owned/driven one ?

Always see several at Classic shows in S Wales area - If you want to buy that would be a good place to start looking.
A mate use to work for them He's built several quality kitcars since

A friend of my dad had a nice burgundy invader with a cream leather interior.

It was a really nice place to sit, looked good and sounded nice.

Performance a bit underwhelming (even then in 79ish) as my dads capri felt quicker to me.

Never got to drive it though (I was only 12)
