Straight from the workshop.

For one point, please respond and identify, this car, its maker, its chassis and its engine.

I will hazard a guess as...an Eagle SS Mk4 convertible? VW based kit car.

Eureka Free Spirit by Allan Purvis

Quote
The Free Spirit was a concept that never made it to production, it was a concept car that Allan was trying to develop, the body shape was very different to any other reek, it had very sharp angular lines. This body was designed to take a mid mounted Ford Laser drive train and a purpose built chassis (By Elfin Sports cars). Allan was unable to get financial backing so the car never went into production it was just a prototype. It was never offered for sale and the project (much to AP’s disappointment) never got off the ground. It was a one off body on a rolling pan and was eventually destroyed.
