In total, about 27 copies were made.
The range included vehicles similar to Bentley's 1930s models . The basis was the delivery van Leyland Sherpa .
The Speed Six was based on a combined Sherpa ladder frame and essential parts of the Ford Granada . As a result, the vehicle was difficult to manufacture and had difficulty in obtaining approval. A V6 engine from Ford with either 2300 cc displacement or 2800 cc capacity propelled the vehicles. The open body was designed as a touring car and was made of fiberglass . From this model created about twelve copies.
In 2000, the Speed Four supplemented the range. The original chassis of the Sherpa was a major simplification, although the engine and radiator were moved 91 cm to the rear. This model found about 15 buyers.
