Most of the pictures I've come across made the place look half deserted. Might have just been bad photo's I guess??

Anyone go to Stoneleigh this year? Heard a few negative ratings about it.
Is it dying?

Thanks gents. The Pike started as a Merlin which the Pike motor company took, cut and widened by 6" and added various improvements, like a small boot, to form the prototype.
Only 7 cars were produced of which this one was the only one in kit form, the other 6 were turnkey.
The donor for mine was the Ford Sierra with the Cologne 2.8i engine and 5 speed box.
2 of the factory produced cars, a 2.0 litre and a 2.9 litre were sold in the UK but I have not been able to trace them. The remaining 4 cars were taken to Germany and Belgium where they hoped to attain TUV approval but this proved difficult and expensive and the company folded. Unfortunately a Belgium buyer was found and whilst transporting the jigs, moulds and demonstrator cars the vehicle was involved in an accident and all went up in flames.
80% of the moulds were recovered and are in my possession, as the original owner, whom I purchased the Pike from, was hoping to reproduce the marque. However not enough interest was shown and he lost interest.

Agree, that Pike is lovely...

Lovely cars. Always liked the Marlin, just not keen on the pointy shape on the bottom of the screen. The Pike is lovely. Never seen one before. If I had to choose I would probably do the same as you. Have 'em both!!

Hi all. It's been forever since I posted on the club. Once we moved to Portugal we have not stopped with the renovation etc.

Hope all are doing well, and I miss the meets for sure! I had an email out of the blue a few days ago from a chap who has bought my old Locost 442. He bought it of the previous owner who had ill health which caused him to sell it on again. I was hoping someone in the club may have seen it in the area as the guy I sold it to was in the region but no-one had seen it. Apparently there were some half-finished mods which he wants to sort but he will send me some pictures when he can. So glad she is still on the road! Not sure where he is based but hopefully close enough to join the club

Summer will soon be here all

JB
