hey,
any one know the name of the kit car - looks like a locost (had a very long bonnet), but is made out of fibreglass. Had a motorbike engine in it, plastic (maybe carbon fibre) seats, had a double loop roll bar at back. The name began with a 'T' and ended in a 'Q' - but i canne remember it for the life of me, even though it was on a programme this morning 
tar all,
Dom

yea a bluey-green colour. Had black double loop roll bars, black alloys - the bonnet had a lip right at the front (looked like a lip on a F50 vent etc).
Had a padle shift gear box and flock covered steering wheel.....
just canne remember the name, apart from it having a T and Q in it

The front slopes down into a lip, that forms the typical kit car front end. It deffo was something like Trioq or something.
Google is absolute cack for hunting stuff out, just gives me things like tires at stuff

nope none of those - i doubt its a well know name like dax rush, robin etc etc. Like i said, it started with a T, ended with a Q, just canne remember the what the rest of it was
google is a piece of shite and none of the kit websites have anything about it Plus the channel 4 website has bugger all about it as well...

Just noticed, they have changed it a bit - it now has a gearbox, instead of the paddle shift the previous prototype had. It also has some dials which the previous model didnt have, but i think they've had to change a lot to get it suitable for SVA/laws etc etc
Still nice car, shame you cant buy it though, yet anyways
edit - piccy of old prototype
brad - yea, in the production version it will have a windscreen and mirrors etc etc Thats just a picture for demo purposes etc
