Barchetta (Simpatico The Dove Company Ltd)

 History

The designer Peter Stevens founded 1993  the company in East Dereham in the county of Norfolk . He began producing automobiles and kits in collaboration with the Dove Car Company, led by Colin Jones . The brand name was Barchetta . 1996 ended production. In total, about twelve copies were made. 

The only model was the 595 . The technical basis was the Fiat 126 . On it an open two-seat plastic body was mounted, which was similar to the Fiat Nuova 500 had no doors. Cool Car 500 made a similar vehicle years later, but with more safe features with doors and two roll bars behind the seats.
