We already figured out that it's something like that, but it has a certain name!

Lombardo was a Fiat 1100 based car from Italy, Veeteor is an Australian thing powered by Chevy V8. JSK was a Czechoslovak sportscar, used in many hillclimbs in 1970s and, probably, 1980s.

Yep, I called Veeteor Australian, although it is apparently British:

Quote
Veeteor Cars Ltd was founded in 2008 by Chris Jenkins.

As an avid Sylva Sportscars and Chevrolet V8 enthusiast, he decided to build up a modern day take on the age old idea of combining a small light chassis with a powerful V8 engine, for his own racing and enjoyment.

A fan of all kinds of motorsport, Chris wanted a car that could lay claim to being a true 'Triple Threat' - that is, a car capable of taking on the fastest road legal cars in the world in a contest of acceleration, top speed or around a circuit, while remaining road legal. The idea behind this was to produce a single car that can be driven to and eligible for almost any motorsports discipline and be competitive, whilst keeping purchase and running costs down by using the very best parts readily available. This will mean that whether it's a sprint, hillclimb, drag race, circuit race, track day, top speed event, or just a weekend cruise to the pub, the Veeteor LS/R is guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

The project has been professionally developed using racing know-how over the past 3 years and we'd be very glad to hear from those interested in comissioning their own example of this exciting all-round, road-legal, sports-racing car. Although the car is designed to use Chevrolet LSx engines, we can accomodate other V8 engines such as the Ford / Jaguar Modular V8 upon request.

9Apr2009 - Veeteor Cars Ltd are pleased to announce that we have been appointed as agent for Nitron Shock Absorbers in South West England. Nitron manufacture top quality shock absorbers in fast road, track day and full race specification for all makes of cars and motorbikes. Please click on the link to our Catalogue A-Z list to see the full range of products that we are able to supply.
