... and TVR should have made the Trevor Fiore designed 'Trident' a series model in 1965

On the other hand, he takes still an active interest in his designs. Below, he is inspecting on-going restoration work on the first TVR Trident prototype.

To warm us up for the WristScan theme this weekend, I thought that we could look back at what could have been the most incredible car from Citroën. The Citroën Karin is certainly avant-garde. Designed by Trevor Fiore and unveiled at the Paris Motor Show i...  

Imagine driving this in 2019, while wearing this:

as for the build quality... what build quality !
