AJP8 engine?

Djetset · February 18, 2012, 09:07:17 AM

No, a V8, but sourced from a more mainstream supplier.

GM Corvette engine?

Djetset · February 18, 2012, 10:14:54 AM

Yup.

Carnut · February 18, 2012, 11:18:56 AM

Hmmm... Some proposal by ex-TVR guys to take up where TVR left off and make a new TVR-style car for the 21st century? Ben Samuelson perhaps?

Djetset · February 18, 2012, 01:27:03 PM

Not Ben Samuelson (he's now involved with Bristol Cars) but it is by a group of ex-TVR employees. Locked to you until next reply to name the company.

Is it Mike Williams and his Surface & Design Company?

Djetset · February 20, 2012, 01:47:09 PM

No Mike Williams involvement that I know of.

Carnut · March 15, 2012, 03:43:10 PM

Is David Hives involved?

Djetset · March 15, 2012, 06:26:06 PM

I don't believe so, but not 100% certain.

Marcos TSO proposal?

Djetset · March 19, 2012, 07:06:24 AM

No Marcos connection.

Djetset · May 21, 2012, 01:49:07 PM

No word on this mystery for quite a while, so off to the Black Hole soon, unless someone knows what it is now...

Djetset · May 22, 2012, 03:42:12 PM

Into the Black Hole it goes...

TVR Sontitus by Mark Przeslawski?

Djetset · May 23, 2012, 02:37:47 AM

The TVR Sonitus is a new one on me, so thanks for the discovery. Sadly though, this is not that car.

Carnut · May 24, 2012, 06:49:30 AM

The new AC 378 GT Zagato looks remarkably like your puzzle car.
Is it related?

Djetset · May 24, 2012, 09:35:43 AM

Sorry, but the new Zagato-designed AC (ex-Piranha) has no relatiionship at all.

Carnut · February 20, 2014, 09:18:41 AM

Epona?

Djetset · February 20, 2014, 05:29:51 PM

Thanks for bringing this one back to life Carnut, but sadly it is not an Epona (though it looks similar)

I just spotted that the Company behind this tough puzzle folded last week, meaning that its website (which including other images of this car) has now been taken down.

I guess this will now make it more difficult to find this car, so as a one-off special offer, I will award three points between now and 1st April 2016 to any puzzler who can correctly identify the Company responsible for this machine. Good luck :)

If the website has been taken down where can the information be found? Anywhere?!
I spent many an hour Googling everything imaginable for this and came up with a big fat zero.
Even the Googling option is no longer there now...

Djetset · March 23, 2016, 07:08:18 AM

I tried Googling this one again last night, and all I could find was some information from Companies House, with nothing about this car at all, so I guess it's good old print only now. The photo I used originally over 3 years ago was taken from a sales leaflet for this car ???
