I was doing a test drive on Saturday and pulled into the layby at North Tuddenham and stopped behind this car. The guy had a laptop and was (I guess) checking the mapping of the car. I tried to get a picture of the car but the wife decided to see if the motorhome we were in had launch control so I missed it!!rage

Any idea's???

It's the new Beira! Good spot, Neil.
Breckland Technology - based on Rasher's Green Industrial Estate, Dereham - are building them.

BT's last project was the Mosler.
It looks like they've built there second, already thumbup



And we'll have less of the Merc slating! winkhehe

Sorry Darren - slip of the tongue - I meant post 2000 modelsthumbup

So their making them on Rashes Green. What happened to the Mosler project. I went and saw them and had a fantastic tour of their operation. Really nice guys but I thought the cars were a bit 'all power and no class'.....sorry.I do appreciate they were basically GT racers I think.

I,m sure that Mike at Breckland would be okay for that. He was most helpfull when I arranged the previous visit when they were still building the Mosler.

I was speaking to Mike at the Norfolk Show last year - they had a Beira on show there. He remembered me and us PistonHeaders invading the workshop! He also told me that once they had perfected the Beira, he would like us to return. So I shall suggest a revisit wink

Neil: AFAIK, the Mosler has ceased it's production run.

I really like the look of that too, even if the rear end does make it look abit like a dodgy f360 body kit.
