The Jetstream

Yes, I know there is no excuse to make a car this ugly!

But, anybody know what happened to the Jetstream project, or who ran it?

I think if they widened the nose so it didn't look like a duckbill wedged between the wheels (making it look more normal car than 7-ish) that'd be alright

Seen at Llandow a few weeks ago. Project DEAD.

I think setting it alight would improve its looks

It looks like a prototype for the Sylva Mojo.

Reminds me of Tiger Aviator - Ie U-G-L-Y

I would like to think that any made were converted into anchors for boats. Bet there are one or two out there that like it though!!!!

This thing was going to be built in Redruth, Cornwall, not too far away from me, my old college tutor, Bob lord was deeply involved. A similar question was asked over 12 months ago, so I drove down to the factory and had a look, the factory was abandoned, and there were several jigs rusting in the back car park, I know it was ugly, but a shame another kit was still born.

"The company, formed by Cornwall-based directors Malcolm Faiers and John Donnelly - both motor industry veterans in the UK and abroad - is being supported with a £265,000 investment from the South West of England Regional Development Agency (RDA)."

There is an awful lot of money thrown away down here by the RDA and the Council, mostly on useless things!!! Those with good ideas never get a look in...Go to Truro sometime and have a look at the statue just chucked up, it's a naked bloke with a drum and well endowed, it's supposed to symbolise "Cornwall"...the only thing it says is "waste of a 100 grand!! " but there are a few "big cocks" down here so I guess it's for them....

Those of you who think it looks so ugly - have another look at those front wheel covers (wings?). They look OK to me.
