Have you ever heard of Bitter Cars ? .... I remember seeing a few at the 1984 Motorshow and liked the look..... the SC was based on an Opal Record chassis and engine but a 3.9 litre 6 version gave it a bit more oomph.... anyway I was just browsing and found a few for sale....... didn't know if you knew.

Yes i had heard of them. Don't remember too much about them other than they were a bit "sporty".
Bitter is Krout for thank you i think?????

Heinrich I think was his name......... He dabbled with some quite tasty Holden V8 based cars but never really made the big time....... shame really as i did think he was on to something at the time.

Bitter is sort of in business.

I should have know as i used to go to Germany lot's of time and i worked in Keil in the early 70s for 4 months or so, AND my brother was there for 17 year, he's fluent in German. He left German to come work for me in Dubai. Couldn't get rid of him, he stayed like Germany for 17 years. Massive asset to the company. (but don't tell him that)

He is now in Kiev Ukraine, has been for the last 10 years since i sold up and retired.

Quite right Piglet

My written German is now terrible! I even have to google translate birthday messages to check spellings. Shameful really.
