Vortex kit car

It is a Vortex, yes, and I'll give you the point for identifying it correctly.
It's not quite accurate to say it's a kit car however, as it was made only from plans.  You bought the plans for $90 and had to construct it yourself from materials you got at the DIY store!
It could have any engine you wanted (provided it would fit of course..) be that petrol or electric.
It was marketed only by the maker, Dolphin Industries, from the mid 1980's, so there were no dealers!
