He came up with his design for a small 3 seater car possibly about 10 yrs ago now but as far as I know he couldnt get the funding to produce them. I was disappointed by that as it seemed a great way forward (probably why he couldnt get the funding).

I remember reading about the idea of the porsche 718 roadster and that was talked about at 30k but by the time it came out it was about 40k which put it in a different ballpark. If this gets built for sensible money then I can imagine it being a hit (even without seeing it!) but probably best not to get too excited yet eh?
