Certainly something different for the market
I like the front end on this modern take on the kit. The rear arches however....
Best of luck with this venture.

The Fairthorpe TX Tripper was a kind of late 60's / 70's Beach Buggy/Sports car hybrid. They were designed by Torix Bennett, the son of the founder of Fairthorpe cars -AVM Donald Bennett. Torix's company, Technical Exponents, shared the Denham Airfield premises with his father. It was sold with either the Triumph GT6 chassis or a TX designed chassis with 1.3, 2.0 and 2.5 Triumph engines.

Mmmmmm?
Hi Guys been off for a while job hunting.
OK Andy, cards on the table. Finish excellent, looks - Big dolop of marmite there, I love marmite, but the Daffy duck beak is a bit long for me. In my "own" humble opinion it looks a bit out of proportion to the rest of the car and it is too low, or is it that I just prefer "old fashioned design styles". Probably is. Good luck with this new project, unsure about how popular the prices will be, but time will tell. By the way looking at those old pictures, you might need to be careful, don't want to get into any arguments about stealing other peoples intelectual property or ideas would we? .
In the words of Dragon's Den. Good luck with your idea, but it's not something I could invest in, so for that reason I'm out.
