Correct!  Only the one was ever made.
Locked for you to give me the model name too.

In my own opinion there isn't  specific model name for this car, as been a "one of" the name LINX defines totally the car, but usually is refered as LINX CONCEPT CAR, besides of that one of its designers clams to have been involved in two designs during the development of the project: the LINX F1 and the LINX F1 Roadster, this last should be the one built. In reality the official web of LINX doesn't makes reference to any specific model.

Well, all right, but I got the picture from a Spanish site where it stated "Manufacturer: Linx;  Model: Bespoke" then all the other details which all appear correct so I assumed the name was too.

Bespoke of course has a meaning in English which means "tailored to a person's specific requirements" so whether they just meant that's what they would produce or whether it was meant as a model name I don't know and I wouldn't like to argue the point.

So we'll call it solved and give you the point.

Thanks Carnut, the problem of Internet is that everybody is able to write without confirm the data used or, as in my case using a foreing language. Taking as the most credible source the own web of Linx there is not model reference at all, but as they have edited a catalog in English with a page dedicated to "LINX SPIRIT" with a picture of the car, I've seen references in old magazines to a new car under the name LINX SPIRIT...
