Sorry.

I just edited in DP 250 in my reply, but that part might be wrong.

( its a little confusing on the site where I found it.)

I may have just un-earned my point... ;D

I have a couple friends who own SP250s, and though I find them to be somewhat aesthetically challenged, they still intrigue me. I feel the same way about their cars too. (ba-da-boom--pisht!)
Anywho, I had never heard of this. Did it go into production, obviously limited, or was it just a one off?

According to the info I found, there was this steel bodied showcar, and 1 to 5 fiberglass ones.

None survive.

That's a shame. I'm certain that they would find love in today's world had they made it this far.
