AWE Redwing ? Available with various Triumph engines from the Herald/Spitfire/Vitesse range.

thorax · « **Reply #13 on:** March 18, 2013, 01:34:53 PM »

yes AWE but Redwing is not the name I have.

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #14 on:** March 18, 2013, 02:22:00 PM »

The only thing left is an AWE Roadster, all the sources I can find refer to either the redwing or pintail.

thorax · « **Reply #15 on:** March 18, 2013, 05:46:05 PM »

my source says that there are AWE Roadster and XXXXXX.
locked for you

Hmm, I've checked my references, and the only website that gives me any information is written by a Paul Negyesi (sounds familiar) who states:

Alan Wilkinson Engineering, based in Yeovil, England started as a GRP moulding concern. They manufactured various moulded components for engineering in general.
The Pintail Roadster (cycle mudguards) project started life in 1989 when the development model was created using wood, foam and GRP. The Redwing model was premiered in 1991.
The vehicles are essentially two seater open top fun sports cars.
Specifications: the donor vehicle is the Triumph Herald/ Spitfire/ Vitesse or Bond. The engine size can vary from 1200cc to 2000cc.
The chassis is slightly modified, the GRP body tub is secured, the bonnet is fully hinged as were the pre 1940s style sports cars.
The dashboard area is manufactured in Walnut veneer board and is fitted with Speedometer, Tachmoeter, Oil pressure, water temp, fuel and amp gauges.

So any more than that and I am at a loss.

Same from my side!

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #19 on:** March 19, 2013, 12:16:35 PM »

It certainly looks like a Pintail

thorax · « **Reply #20 on:** March 19, 2013, 06:17:49 PM »

maybe my source is wrong, I don't know.
all the infos are right but the AWE I have, has another name.

I'll send a p.m. to Pal

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2013, 12:36:20 PM »

sorry for getting back to you so late. I received the photo and the words directly from AWE Engineering. As far as I know only the two models, which have already been mentioned were produced by this company

thorax · « **Reply #22 on:** April 09, 2013, 09:44:22 AM »

my source was wrong, so one point goes to Gilescooperuk.
