Was the other car they're known for of the same style (open two seater with cycle wings) or something different ?

Could this be the work of designer Bob Eggington, who built the ASD Minim and Hobo in the 1980s?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Who else if not you?
I believe this pic cames from one of your brochures!
Point for you.
Is there anything more about it?

No, unfortunately this item is not in my collection. I have another item from this manufacturer. D.K.Engineering TR83/1 (UK ,early 80's)
"The TR83 is produced using Ferrari 250GT mechanical components and is styled to resemble the original Ferrari Testa Rossa prototype chassis 0666."

That was the other car I was referring to.  :thumbsup:
This TVR Special was for sale in 1988.
I do not have more.

They are well-known in the UK, run by the Cottingham family. They specialise in Ferrari restoration and maintenance. I think the name TVR may be incorrect in some way - I can't believe it had anything to do with TVR. It's far more likely that it was a Ferrari-powered special that was called, like their other car, TR-something.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
