Pretty bold claim, surely it's a bit of a bargain if that's true. Looks a bit too much like a period Lotus for my liking though.

Edit - not mine, honest.

I understand it is right that this is the only one. It was built to order for some lady who wrote her 350 FHC off. On the lotus thing the design for the Wedge was the design of Oliver Winterbottom who was also a Lotus designer.

Car also has nothing to do with me.

Thought 'Tasmin' name was dropped far earlier than 1990 ?
With my eyes, its certainly looks like the body style of my old 1983 Tasmin.

True about the Tasmin name being dropped , but I think some of the owners are affectionate to the name.

I parked my old Tasmin next to an early Lotus Esprit and the front ends were very almost identical.
Mr Winterbottom went to TVR just after doing the Esprit
