The biggest molds were for an electric car prototype chassis and an ultralight aircraft fuselage.

Wow - what a funny looking car.

It still has the same footprint as a normal small car - so what's the point in that shape - so much wasted space - most odd.

Anyway - am looking at the possibility of producing a Savannah Rocker in GRP - and so I will need molds (please look at link)

That evolved from an inline concept with two wheels- at first it got 4 wheels and than it grew to the side more and more as some really academic guys allways calculated away their fear :)
Its a research car for autonomous driving.....

We can do this. And we can do this relatively cheap depending on you production numbers.
Maybe we should transform our discussion more towards email? Maybe we are a bit off topic now?

Definately has it's own identity, I like it! Reminds me of a Messerschmitt KR200.

LOL!!!! The three opening in front of the windscreen frame look like the car could be "fitted *for* but not *with* ground-to-ground 20 mm machine gun ports.
