Wait...the what?

(That's my son in awe of these uncommon beasties)

The Purvis Eureka! The sports car/kit car that took Australia by storm back in 1974.

Normally powered by a VW block, other models have included a ford 4 banger and in some case (and god I'd love to give one of these a spin...) a Mazda rotary.

Can you imagine a brapping 12a/13b in this fibreglass piece of art?

This is the 2nd of only 2 I've seen in the wild. Both owned by obvious enthusiasts as both are gobsmackingly immaculate. I love that pop up canopy!

According to a rego check, this one is VW powered. So I'm still on the hunt for one powered by a pair of triangles...one day...
