The concept is interesting anyway... After-all, the Reliant Robin was
built for many years in the UK. I drove one once and it scared the bangers
and mash out of me! Still, they were pretty useful in many parts of the UK
and I guess you still see them from time to time carefully chasing someone
on a bicycle...
The Lyons LM2 Streamliner on the other hand appears to be a magnificent
beast if it does, in fact, go into production as promised. Should be one
at the NY show this month if anyone is going to that. I find the body
beautiful and the 1700 hp V8 twin turbo should pin the ears back on the
competition - if there is any....
