EB110 wheels, wow. is that a venturi?

Djetset · « **Reply #2 on:** November 02, 2009, 05:11:47 AM »

The alloys are a little EB110-esque, but it's not a Bugatti, nor is it a Venturi.

I'm guessing from the wheels and wheelbase there is a Sierra under there.

Looks like the one that almost killed Adam Wilkins but I need to check the magazine store first....

i think it's a Candy Apple Finale

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #8 on:** November 26, 2009, 02:09:14 PM »

Metisse Coupe

Djetset · « **Reply #9 on:** November 27, 2009, 09:36:20 AM »

Neith a Candy Apple nor Metisse I'm afraid, and not too cetain if it's Sierra-based either, although this seems the most likely powertrain package.

Is this the Cerity R by CH Automotive?

Djetset · « **Reply #12 on:** December 09, 2009, 03:07:36 AM »

Not quite the model name I have, but you're on the right lines. Locked to you for 24 hours.

Quiller · « **Reply #13 on:** December 09, 2009, 08:44:28 AM »

It could be Supersport 4 or SS4...

Djetset · « **Reply #14 on:** December 09, 2009, 10:08:20 AM »

Ah ha, SS4 and/or Supersport 4 was my quest, for which you have surpassed yourself. So, as it's almost Christmas, have a point on me.

Any short notes about the CH Automotive like productions years or anything else? Thank You!

Claydon Hamilton Automotive Design, Maldon, Essex / C.H. Automotive, Bristol, Avon
The 1996 Supersport 4 was predominantly the work of Tony Claydon, an ex-racing driver and designer of the Tara 2 prototype that almost went into production as an Aston Martin. This was a four-seater coupe vaguely reminiscent of a Nissan 300ZX, using a steel chassis and glassfibre body, and sold mostly in kit form. The major components derived from the Ford Sierra (a 4x4 Cosworth option was even available) and Ford four-cylinder or various V8 engines could be installed. A split between the founders of the company led to a redesigned version called the SS4, later known as the Cerity R.

Much thanks. I had it under different name.

It is. And I thought I'd come up with a car no-one had ever heard of, just because I'd never heard of it...

The website of the designer states it is not 1996, as it lead him to work on and design the Candy Apple Cars Finale in 1994. That particular body (Finale) is still build according to the designer.
