When you read the article they talk about a new 2005 car? and spyder? but its looks like a "old" lotus elan +2 but then totaly rebuild...so its as good as new, and the cars on the picture's are no spyders but I think the maker name is spyder?, here is that picture

and a short part what they wrote:

The whole process starts with a donor car, which Spyder can source on your behalf if you wish. A tidy +2 for about £3,000 will minimise the cost of retrimming, but a mechanially rough example can be found for as little as £1,500-£2,500.

Spyder cars have been around for years and have long been making replacement chassis, among other things, for the RWD Elan. AFIAK they were also behind the Evante project back in the 80's.

Vegantune were behind the Evante (though Spyder probably supplied the chassis). They have done Chassis for Ronart, amongst others, though and are a well established and respected company.
