Roadster

Just some of the Quotes from the Press

KIT CAR Illustrated, June 1995 - DOWN THE ROAD

"Instead of replicating an existing car, "R" Motor Sport, Ltd. started from scratch to create a fresh design that blends some of the best elements of several
popular and classic automobiles. The sensuous curves of the Cobra and the classic lines of the Lotus Seven can easily be visualized when looking at the
Diva".
"The strong one-piece body slides over the purpose built, multi-tube space frame chassis".
"The chassis offers excellent torsional rigidity".
"this roadster can really get up and go".

KIT CAR The Car Builders Authority, July 1995 - Specialty Scene, DIVA SINGS

"Although reminiscent of the Lotus Super Seven, the new Diva Roadster's beefed-up bodywork creates a more muscular look in keeping with its hot rod
mechanicals".

Grassroots Motorsports, July/Aug 1995, START FROM SCRATCH

"The Diva Roadster is an excellent example of today's stylish, modern kit car".

KIT CAR Illustrated Oct. 1995, SOMETHING NEW THIS WAY COMES, by Richard Holdener

"Like many specialty cars, the Diva Roadster resulted from someone's desire to go fast, and look good doing so!".
"Different is nice, but quality, performance and good looks are all part of the game. And the Diva Roadster is ready to deliver on all accounts!".
"Out back, the Diva runs a setup that would be immediately recognizable to anyone who has ever taken a peek under the rear of a Winston Cup or Trans Am
racer. The 35-inch long upper and lower control arms (trailing arms) are positioned to provide approximately 75 percent anti-squat".
"From the looks of it, the Diva offers a lot of performance in a very distinctive package".

KIT CAR The Car Builder's Authority, March 1996, A PENNY SAVED, A Super Selection of Low-Buck Exotics. By Steve Temple & Harold Pace

"The Diva has all the elements that are near and dear to Yankee kit builders".
"The Diva preserves the lively, open-roadster élan of a Seven, but it feels far more substantial and secure".
"This is a car we'd be happy running on a roadcourse or bombing down the turnpike".

KCI KITCARS INTERNATIONAL (UK) Aug/Sept 1996, The car in front is a V8, by Richard Heseltine.

"Hugely comprensive spaceframe employs tried and tested suspension arrangements to handle Chevy 350 power".
"There's a bit of everything in there; Lotus Seven, Cobra and even Allard J2X but the Diva remains unique".

KIT CAR The Car Builders Authority, March 1999, 3 Divas by Harold Pace

"All were impressed with the quality of the kit and the simplicity with which it went together".
"The Diva is no fat lady, but when the work is over, she really sings!".

KIT CAR Illustrated Aug 1999, Three Divas, by Bill Moore

"In a world filled with many replicas, a trio of Diva roadster sings with panache, providing tons of bang for the buck in an affordable package that is original".
"The Diva is a unique car that owners customize for themselves, making each one an individual star unto itself".
"The one-piece, hand-laid fiberglass Diva body is extremely sturdy".
"So, if you're looking for a Cobra alternative, the Diva sounds like just the ticket… and boy, how it sings!".

KIT CAR Illustrated, Dec. 2000, Daring Diva, by Mike Blake

"The design which they have come up with is the Diva Speedster-which borrows a bit of the styling of the Lotus 7, Caterham 7 and Birken, and maybe a bit of
Jaguar; but which makes the car new and all its own, with nuances that make this a brand new exciting kit car and not a replica at all".

KIT CAR The Car Builders Authority, Nov. 2001, DIVA DYNAMO by Harold Pace

"New Speedster reaches for a rod look".
"The concept of a sport/rod is a valid one and a builder could slant their Speedster either way".
"The Speedster hits a lot of emotional bases, is easy to build, and is reasonably priced to boot. It should be a winner on the streets…or the salt flats!".

KIT CAR Your Source For Kit & Component Cars, January 2004, Dynamic DIVA by Paul Williams

“Although it’s changed over the years, the Diva kit is a professionally engineered package with huge performance potential and a nameplate that stands on
its own”.
“Everything feels tight and solid”.

KIT CAR BUILDER, February 2007, BRUTE FORCE by Iain Ayre

“As far as the driving experience goes, the car was undramatic - it just goes very quickly, very quickly. Stiffness and stability is evident, with no hint of the
available performance until you decide to let it loose”.
