They started taking order in the US in September 2005.

Reminds me a lot of the Westfield XTR2, cool little car.

I am a big fan of these lightweight small displacement cars. and the XTR2 can be built at home.

Edit... I was wrong, they are british, but they are sold in austraila, I guess I must have seen something about them somewhere and figured thats where they were from.
