Blimey, I really like that

normally the retro classics miss the mark, but that's got the balance about right

Quite a few styling clues
I like the front not sure about the rear haunches

Reminds me of a TVR Chimaera on steroids. Agree, looks good - not so sure about the rear 3/4 view though

I'm no car designer but they really should smooth out that horrendous lump on the back wing. Other than that I like it.

Looks like the offspring of an E type and an Aston. Think the price might scare me!

Very nice!.....The rear end is reminiscent of the Pegasus - I think the styling works well....

Nice car , but the name is a bit cheesy !

Post by **Darren C** » Tue Dec 04, 2018 6:17 pm

It's not easy naming a car, Roy...
The name reflects the heritage of Hertfordshire where Dowsetts are based, their first car & in particular the DeHavilland works & their first record breaking Comet the DH88
There are echo's of the curvaceous styling & twin blade wheel spinners in the car as Homage to the name.

Here's the slightly longer version of the Dowsetts film

enjoy

Thanks for the positive feedback everyone

We're working on another film that should be live by the end of this week, that'll really show the capabilities of Comet. I'll post you a link when it's done
