You're right, but I had to look it up and found this:
The white one was the original demonstrator, which I think was intended to be a one-off, but was so well received that a company was formed to build them. KNW was the abbreviation, was around about 1986. Based on a Cortina (hence the horrible instruments and Pinto power. The KNW Hornet project was passed on to another company, and was offered for sale, but I don't know how many (if any) cars were built by either concern.
A similar theme was tried by the later Regis Mohawk, which also bombed...
And this:
Originally appeared as a one off called the KNW2 in 1985, designed and built by Doug Pinchin of Newcastle. As a one of it was excellent, displaying design flair and styling abilty, but the quality of the moulding was not up to production standards"
Production cars were manufactured by De Novo cars (aka DNK) of Halesowen in the West Midlands. The white demonstrator (with the Weller 8-spokes) had a red dralon interior, so leopard-print is sticking with the theme!
The original car apparently had a computer in the centre console to control the vehicle systems.
So here it is called the KNW2 ...
