Britain has been infamous for having tonnes of small scale car manufactuers who set up shop in all parts of the British Isles and then make a few interesting cars , go bust , resurface a few years later funded by some outsider with too much money , make a few more cars and then go bust again!

well its happening all over again! ....just when you tought you'd seen the last of the likes of Marcos and TVR disappear , another one pops outta the groud

The newest entrant is a company called Breckland Technology and is based in Norfolk (isn't that Lotus country? )

Now normally these upstarts would come up with some rediculous home grown designs and plants....but they've gotten lazy this bunch and have taken the simple way out by simply tuning a PONTIAC SOLSTICE !

However they've bothered ot hcnage the improtant bits and have thrown in a "LS2" V8 from General Motors under the hood and revised the body work - but the irony of it all is that this "British" roadster has the steering wheel on the wrong side!

Its said to be capable of over 155 mph and will dash to 60 in under 5 - but do note all these are 'claimed' figures...

it isn't impossible though given that the car will weigh under 1400kgs and the engine will throw out a good 400 horses...

the strangest piece of info about this car is that it is said to have a a 70-litre LPG reservoir ...but why???

...its doubtful that anyone who is going to spend 55,000 sterling on a 2 seat roadster is gonna bother about frugality!

The car is said to debut at the British Motor Show this July

(Attn Alfisti : Notice anything familiar about the name?! )

Seems to be an awsome ride from its looks. The rear of the car is designed to look a bit like a Ferrari. Isnt it?

BTW Thanks for the info Devinda. :

Exactly Devinda. I 100% agree with you. So China is not the only country who copies car brand logos and designs ne? Even that happens in Queens country. How strange?

BTW your eyesight seems to be excellent thanks to your frameless "Porsche" (not sure whether Im correct about the brand) specs. I didnt even noticed what you have pointed.
