The new Rumen, built in France.
700 cc triple with classic styling, modern features and excellent gas mileage.

It reminds me of the 3 wheeler Hawk that HD bought the rights to and it swiftly disappeared from view.
Love the wire wheels.

Looks like a talbot/ prowler/ messershmit, with LBC wire wheels.
I want one! That's the weirdest thing I've seen produced for quite a while.
It's me!

Thats really quite cool. Has a very good power to weight ratio, probably gets great mileage, and looks pretty cool. I wish they were imported.

Since 2002 the efforts around the project were mainly focussed in getting the good conditions together in order to continue the project: funding, a development team, production facilities and a sales network. Several entrepreneurs proposed to be inporter in the UK and in the USA and even proposed to take quite impressive numbers of cars. In 2004 several companies were prospected to do the development work (Antonov himself basically concentrates on the development of automatic transmissions) and Technical Studio was chosen to take on the development.

There may be hope yet. Though at only 25 produced in 2006 I don't need to see the price tag to know I can't afford it.

They claim a starting price of 40,000 euros...looks like a Plymouth Prowler in front to me. Interesting to see, if imported into US, how well they actually sell.

I love it! Too bad I'll never own one. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Thats pretty neat. Looks like alot of off the shelf parts are used that classic car enthusiasts would be familiar with, Moto-Lita wheel, looks like VDO gauges, the wires are probably from one of the major manufacturers. I don't think they'd have the same sales problems with this as Chrysler had with the Prowler. The Prowlers problem was it screamed hot-rod. People paying that much for a hot-rod wanted something more to put their foot into than a weak 6 cylinder and an auto box. That car was a classic case of all show and no go, it was a real shame. My local Chrysler dealership had two on the lot for almost a year. This car looks more like a classic, not a hot rod, so screaming performance probably wouldn't be at the top of a potential buyers list of must have qualities.

If they were to produce cars in any number I am sure that there are a few lawyers in Munich who would be all over them about the grill design.

Seriously though 40K eros seems a bit much.
