Never seen one of these before, I was hoping to see a TG500 lump under the bonnet, it must have just been the sport that had this fitted.

Right bobbybubble, only the Zeta Sport has fitted the TG engine. Two of these cars are in Germany.

Yes, a friend of mine in France also owns a Zeta sport. He imported it from Australia some years ago, I was with him when he collected it from the shippers, we were particularly impressed with the tubular frame and how it has all brazed rather than welded together,I think this was done to prevent stress breaks which can happen with welds.

And the engine is so compact for a 325 litre.

   Today I met a man that I used to work with over 20 years ago - in his youth he worked for Frisky on the Isle of Sheppey he recounts a story that the Frisky Sprint - the one that did not go into production was at the back of the yard where they used to assemble the cars. when the assembly work moved down to sandwich they pushed the frisky sprint into the river flowing past the back of the workshops. He recounts that it was muddy and he says maybe it's still there!!!
   Anyone who wants a Frisky speedo - the same size as a scootacar one, but it runs anticlockwise - I have one.
