I'm guessing that's the one that's often mentioned here , Paul Gulson had something to do with it but not sure if he was the builder . Wonder what it'll go for in the end ....

I've seen that car before, he lives a couple of kays from me.

It actually looks very well engineered, but it would be scary to drive! :shock:

I like the idea, but maybe there is a better way to execute?

Just trying to build a smarter mouse-trap.

Cheers,
Tricky

I don't think it is the ex-Gulson car.

I know the Car and I know Trev. Nothing to with Gulson. Trev built it himself. I would buy it if I had the money. It needs to be further developed but with something as radical as this would be an excellent start and a fantastic club racer. Built along similar lines to the Hume brother rotary Sports sedan except they ran a Hewland tranaxle

So that means there's more than 1 like this in Australia then , now that would be an ultimate class of mini sports sedans ...
