Just had a read of the story on EVO's website from a little while ago and it looks like quite a cool toy, with the report even suggesting that it might give the Bowler Wildcat a run for its money with an RV8 intalled in the middle?!

Since Peter Wheeler passed away though, what's happened to this project? Is it dropped? Or carried on by others? The article said that it was being developed in Blackpool at the old TVR factory and that there was military interest. Would be nice to see the project carried through as it is such a weird and wonderful vehicle!

I did hear that Peter Wheeler had made provision to see the project through, and the site where it was being developed is still on-going with the same employees/mates.Chris Runciman was working on it, Johnathan Greenwood (jgr) or Brian Hosfield (lawfield eng) would know more.

The movie clip in the duck pond is the best bit biggrin

I believe the wheel paddles were being modified, thank goodness.

Keith's right it is currently being finished and then I understand the project is being put up for sale as a whole.
