Custom Designed and Built Single Seat Roadster 700cc 5-speed
Representing the vision of its creator and many hours of planning, design, and fabrication, the one-off custom before you is a testament to one man's determination to design and create a truly unique automobile. William Phillips has had a passion for customizing cars since a young age and after completing multiple mainstream type builds, decided it was time to create a car from the ground up. From the initial idea, design, clay modeling, chassis building, body forming, and finishing, this car is truly an automotive one-off and a work of art! Dubbed the Tiger 700 Ultralite, this single seat roadster is ready to pounce!
Derived from the misty haze of imagination, transformed into real metal and rubber and carbon fiber, capturing the gaze of every onlooker as it goes. You will certainly not pull up next to yourself on a cruise night with this ride. Give us a call to make it yours!
