On E-bay, don't know how to make a link :o
It's this article that made me thinking about buying a replica many years ago.
I still have the article ( see pics ).
It is in Dutch, of course , but maybe of interest to the owner of the cars in the pictures. The bleu car has registration XYV 350T.

Haven't seen that nose badge anywhere else.

This looks like the demonstrator built/run by Bob Pilot (Pilott?) in Woking, many years ago.

If so, I had a test drive in that car around Castle Combe; memorable moment being when I pressed down the clutch pedal and caught the brake pedal too - hitting the brakes when expecting to change gear is a bit of a shock to the system!

Also, Bob had fitted extra springs onto the throttle linkage, making that pedal much harder to press down. Intention being to make the drivers go a bit slower. Can't say that worked for me though ;)
