Crikey, it\u2019s hard to believe but it\u2019s some twenty years since the Toniq R first came blinking into the spotlight at the Donington kit car show.<\/p>\n

Designed by a group of students from the University of Huddersfield, it was seen as a fresh and ultra-credible new take on the Lotus Seven theme.<\/p>\n

One of the four people involved from gestation, Colin Williams, now re-located in St Austell, Cornwall, has been running Toniq Cars for several years although it\u2019s fair to say that although the car has always been available, it\u2019s been keeping a low-profile in recent times, primarily due to Colin being an in-demand designer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the company now has a new website, which is really impressive and easy to use, while they have now re-branded with the Toniq CB range which can be used on road or track. The car has always been a fine-handling thing but has benefited lately from further enhancements to the double wishbones and inboard dampers and a stiffened round-tube spaceframe chassis.<\/p>\n

Colin also has plans to develop new models under the Toniq banner including a full-bodied sportscar. He\u2019s also created a separate website that features details on tooling, production and design aspects that the company can offer. This can be found at www.toniqltd.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n
