 * That's it! That's the car!  In fact, it's the same car that's in my book, only restored.  Same license plate!  Sonofagun.  I'm glad he borrowed my text.  Might have to borrow his picture.  I love it!  Man, that thing's tinier than I thought. - Lucky 6.9 07:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Partly true
This sotry is partly true was it not for that Van der Goot build a car first for himself and only afterward started planning building a car in a series. It was first intended for sale, but the press was not so gentle to the project. Only then it was thought of renting the car out. It took a trained mechanic about 15 minutes to exchange the gearbox/motorunit.

Only 4 were ever build, of which one survived, another one was later build from spare parts.
