We OFTEN see the table top drawings of so-called "cars of the future", but their reality is a long trip to the horizon. Mr. Hilton, a truly masterful designer, has presented us with what is obviously the synthesis of 2-d dream design closely transmitted into practical, if fun (and expensive) reality. All the while the MC1 retains the strong sense of what must have come out of the original ink pens on the board. Perhaps this is a function of his new design-to-production timeline capabilities. Now somes the hard part-can he sell the dream? Can the transformation he has acheived be taken to the next level- out into the investor (and then consumer) world? I've got to believe that there are many others willing to support the project as frontmen, then in the marketplace. I highly suspect we'll see some of these on the streets of LA, Vegas, London and Dubai in 2011. Good Luck to Mr. Hiilton! There’s an amazing thing going on here.

A lot of the British Car industry might have disappeared over the years but it's surprising the number of small manufacturers that have clung on and make such good high performance cars.
