Is this the lass of Hulme Supercars or finally the start to seeing them available to the public?

"For sale
We are thrilled to be able to offer a unique, once in a life time opportunity for a collector/motor sport enthusiast to purchase The First and to date, only car in the world officially named “Hulme” after “Denny Hulme”, Formula 1 World Champion and Double CanAm champion.
The Hulme CanAm test car/prototype, Chassis Number “BEAR 1” is now available for purchase.
It would make an exciting addition to a collectors display or for use as a spectacular track car.
“Bear 1” our test car/prototype has been extensively tested and developed over the last 4 years.
It has been developed with the help of many very experienced drivers.
It has been driven up the famous ”Goodwood Festival of Speed” hill by Paul Radisich (Double World Touring car Champion) and was the star of the show at the Australian International Motor Show and Big Boys Toys in Dubai.
“BEAR 1” was chosen as one of the top 10 cars at the “Goodwood Festival of Speed” by the UK paper “The Sunday Times” and was chosen as the star of show at the Dubai Big Boys Toys, by “Wealth TV in the USA”.

I guess the immediate question is, how much for the prototype?

This car is now so far behind the times. For how many years has this thing been doing the motor show rounds.

I am all for new and exciting cars built in New Zealand but this was never going to get anywhere unfortunately.

I think Jeremy Clarkson said it best... "ambitious but rubbish"

When did he say that? I wasn't aware of him having driven it at all.

He never drove it. Just quoting him in general.
