Shucks, just seems like a very polished Locost with an R1 engine & a reversing box. Hot stuff for 1992, but one could duplicate something like this quite easily these days, what with the renewed popularity in Lotus Seven-like cars.

I did enjoy envisioning the swiss saddle and the bungee cords, the feet flapping in the slipstream…

I think he was sitting in the rear seat.

The video makes me really want to build something like this.

Did anyone else wonder how the cameraman (who was apparently the only one who knew the way) was attached to the car during the video?

That says a lot about motorcycle engine performance in general and the handling built-into this car
