It was sold as a kit and based on the Vauxhall Viva using the Viva engine, gearbox, front hubs and brakes. The Viva drivshaft delivered power to the single rear wheel via a specially made final drive system.

Production was very low volume; possibly only four Series 1 models were sold along with six of the Series 2.
