Serious design work started in the late 80's and a prototype took shape in the mid 90's built round the drive train of the small Reliants (Robin and Kitten) using the 850cc, OHV, aluminium wet liner engine and the aluminium gearbox, retaining the traditional rear wheel drive layout. He designed a new A-frame chassis with a live rear axle and swing arm front suspension, which was clothed in a curvaceous fibre glass body tub with cycle wings. The swing arm front suspension was changed to a double wishbone set up before production and early cars used a modified Reliant back axle. The latter did not prove satisfactory, so most cars now run with a modified Bedford/Suzuki axle.
