TMC Costin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The TMC Costin was a lightweight sports car built from 1983 to 1987 at the Thompson Motor Company in Wexford, Ireland.
It was designed by the aerodynamicist and Marcos founder Frank Costin and was supposed to be the Irish Seven. Costin had previous associations with Lotus and Maserati for race-car chassis designs. The cars were very successful in racing, but just 39 cars were built before TMC went bankrupt in 1987. The chassis rights were sold to the American Daniel Panoz, founder of Panoz Auto Development, who still builds the Panoz Roadster which are based on the Costin.
