Dax Rush Quadra

There's an RS200 kind-of-look-alike too based on Sierra Cosworth.

The RS 200 used to be called the KARA, Banham do/did a RS200, but i think it was only based on a Maestro

I have an old copy of a kit car magazine somewhere that features a Dax Rush Quadra with a tuned Cosworth lump in it making 300bhp+

0-60 in 3.2s Nice.

Tiger Z100WR (WR standing for World Record, as in 0-60 time for production cars of (I think) 2.8 seconds). A variation on the Z100 twin bike engined car in that the engines are mounted facing opposite to one another. One engine drives the front wheels and the other the rear wheels although not independantly - something to with three propshafts or something or other.

Unfortunately Tiger no longer sell it as a kit and will only do turnkey versions.

Metisse Cars manufacture a coupe, soft-top, and pick-up which can all be built as a 4WD using a Sierra Cosworth or XR 4x4 as a doner.

Metisse cars - I take it they are the old Rickman designs?

Metisse cars took over manufacture of the Metisse Coupe only,
the licence for the Ranger models was taken up by Lomax, makers of the three wheelers.
