« on: June 25, 2011, 03:37:59 AM »
Hello all, I'am new hear so please forgive me if I get it worng, I think my t11 protptype is right for this section an original design by Trevor Fiore from 1969 the car only got to the rolling chassis stage although was tested at castle combe race circuit in 1970 with a few alloy panels fitted to it, I've spent the last 10 years getting it on the road its as close as you can get to a le mans type race car a great to drive,if there is anyone out there need any more information on it please let me know........

Hi t1100002, it's a beautiful car!  :) Welcome to autopuzzles.com!

Your infos are highly appreciated.
What I'd like to know: is the trail to Trevor Fiore well documented?

This picture will help to show how the car looks a little better..

Another wasted Trevor Fiore design (I have one of the TVR Trident Prototypes and have always much admired Fiore's work).
