Sylva boss, David MacBean told me: “I always wanted the option of a Ford-based car and while the TF-based Vectis is cost-effective there is a definitely a market for the Ford-based J15 that we couldn’t service without that car.”
David will balance production of the two models by producing them in small batches to ease manufacture issues for a small company. I More >
