Re: JOSS Supercar

The thing was complicated mayhem from start to finish. There never was and there never will be a market for a half million dollar car by a small time manufacturer in australia. and for what it was it was overpriced in any event.
It is only a chev in a lightweight body , and it does not have a "name" like Ferrari or Lamborghini stuck on the front.
I give the guy an A for effort, but he was aiming for a market that did not exist

Re: JOSS Supercar

I dont think he took any deposits, unlike some one else.

his words-

"based on chev"

there are plenty of half million dollar cars on Oz roads Russ, maybe not so many in Qld
