Brief history of car:
Not exactly a kit car in the strictest terms but a 'transformation kit' as DSL called it. This really quite ugly car involved replacing the Triumph Spitfire front end with a new fibre glass front end very reminiscent of a Dutton Pheaton (DSL stood for Dutton Sports Ltd, an offshoot of Dutton)
Not content with making the front end of the Spitfire look as ugly as possible they also ensured the back end didn't get missed by supplying a new bootlid and back panel to enable a spare wheel to hang off the back.
The DSL blurb at the time stated that the Spyder kit 'gives a high degree of personal expression', which I guess it does, I'll leave it up to you to decide what that expression might be!
Coming soon...
