Hope this answers some questions from “Tim in London”.!!
This is a rare concept car offered to a number of major players in the sports car world for possible volume production. Three were made in the mid 90 nineties, 2 speedsters and one fixed head, before the project was shelved. Unfortunately the other speedster no longer exists. I understand this was the only one badged in Bugatti trim as offered to Bugatti for possible production.
Manufactured by EB-M in South Africa and believed to have connections to the pininfarina studios in Turin, Italy. Styling similar to Bugatti, Lamborghini and Ferrari.
E.B.M. marketed a similar car afterwards as the Tazio Spyder, see:
www.autoindex.org. EBM ceased trading around 2000.
Mechanically the vehicle has an advanced suspension set- up from Audi of Germany. Power being provided from the USA in the form of the provenChevy 350c.i High OutputV8 mid-mounted. Trans axle is from Audi.
The vehicle needs to be viewed to fully appreciate its fine engineering excellence.
Just a couple of details:
It was first registered in the UK in 2000
Has only covered 3100 miles
Just in case it gets spotted again, the car is now registered as “R6BBV” not “7 DPW”.
It is privately owned by me and is currently for sale!
