Elfin review?

[Lekky]

I was just wondering if Top Gear has ever tested any of the Australian made Elfin cars?
They are awesome little track/sports cars and I would be surprised if they haven't.
Perhaps I am missing an episode because I'm sure I saw it being reviewed somewhere but can't seem to find it.
Thanks,

Well I've been watching the show since before Jezza started, and been reading the mag religiously since it came out in about 92 and I can honestly say I have never even heard of the name so I think the fairly safe answer to that is a firm "No".

Hmm. Ok well thanks.
Just out of curiosity, when did Jeremy start on old Top Gear?

1988.

Top Gear Australia (unsurprisingly) did a piece on Elfins (I'm sure it was shortly after I moved house, so that would put it in Series 2), so perhaps you caught that somewhere along the line. I thought they looked like tremendous fun, but I don't think I've ever seen one over here.

Closest they've done is a Caterham, or the Atom really.

The review (Elfin) would be so full of Australian stereotypes anyways that you wouldn't find out what they reckon of the damn car itself.

Its an ugly car anyway.
