So there's a Suzuki bike in the back - are the front mechanical parts from a British car ?

I don't think so.

Can it be found online ?

I don't think so

Was that the only vehicle built?

Was he known for anything else or it's just a magazine clipping with a caption below a picture showing the last effort of an unknown British builder? And in that case, does He shares his name with anyone we could know?

Well, to begin with it's not "he" its them

And there is a story behind this car, though I can't find anything online on it.

Is it a 'she' or a 'they' then?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #35 on:** December 14, 2015, 08:56:55 AM »

they, three guys

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #36 on:** December 14, 2015, 09:18:16 AM »

Did they give it a name?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #37 on:** December 14, 2015, 10:13:09 AM »

yes, there was a name and a purpose

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #38 on:** December 14, 2015, 10:20:16 AM »

Training?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #39 on:** December 14, 2015, 10:54:31 AM »

"purpose" is more like it was built for something

To the Black Hole

Just a wild guess...could this be Alastair Wood, Mark Bickerstaffe and John Porter's Katana? A project of Dr Challoner's school in Amersham built around 1986 to enter the BP-buildacar competition?
