For the Aussies, The Purvis Eureka Business is For Sale.
All moulds, name, etc etc. The business has been dormant for a while but still has a large following. Originally based on the VW Bug and some even have porsche motors in them.
The two seater Nova with its dramatically opening roof/door canopy combines basic ideas of the Ford GT40 and Lamborghini Miura in a fiberglass shell on a VW Beetle chassis and mechanicals.
Licensed version of the Nova have been built in Austria as the Ledl, in Australia as the Purvis Eureka, in France as the Défi, in Italy as the Totem and Puma, in New Zealand as the Scorpion, in South Africa as the Eagle, in Switzerland as the Gryff, in the United States as the Sterling and Sovran and in Zimbabwe as the Tarantula. There have also been numerous un-licensed copies. Some versions featured pop-up head lamps and gull-wing doors, but the basic silhouette remained the same.
Versions of the Nova have appeared in number of films, including Cannonball Run II, Death Race 2000 and Condorman
The new design will be based on a new Aurion / Camry.
