Reminds me a bit of the HMC. That was almost a carbon copy (or should that be GRP?) of the Healey 3000, but with a Rover v8 and decent brakes and suspension. Anyone know if they're still around?

Sadly not. Seems they went bust due to lack of orders - most of which apparently came from Germany...

That's a pity. Still, always thought it would sell better if they'd put some original bodywork on it (in a modern TVR stylie).

Nice retro looking car. Distinct look of MGA to the rear.

Looks gorgeous! Not sure about the rear end of the coupe but the door sills are rather high!

How to spell "Wiesmann" - you offer three different versions in your article; I just wanted to say that one of them is actually correct, so keep up the good work!

The Wiesmann racecars are quite nice, too (I believe there's 2 of them); sadly the factory has put the Nürburgring racing program on the back burner.

Nice car.
But did they really have to use an E-Type screen. Bit more rake needed methinks.

My mate just showed me a pic of this car-WOW!
Maybe the best way forward is to look back-what a great idea.
