Jeremy has been designing and producing a superb line-up of kitcars since 1982 and iconic models such as Striker, Fury, Stylus, Phoenix, Leader and Riot have all come from his pencil. Every Sylva I\u2019ve ever driven has been a total delight. The man has a knack for creating, clever, wheel-at-each-corner cars that put a smile on your face.<\/p>\n

David MacBean has been around kitcars for many years and has built several including a T&J Locust, a Striker and a GTM Libra. Indeed, he was the first customer to fit a K-V6 engine.<\/p>\n

David has moved production of J15\/Vectis to his workshop at Mallory Park and has slightly re-named the company, Sylva Sportscars and will officially be open for business from May 1, and will be exhibiting at the National Kit Car Motor Show at Stoneleigh that weekend.<\/p>\n

David is fully aware of the pedigree of the marque and looks forward to his new venture and of course, Jeremy will be but a phone call away, if help or advice is needed.<\/p>\n

We wish the new operation the very best and it goes without saying that we\u2019ll be running a feature on the new Sylva as soon as we are able while of course, you can expect a tribute to Jeremy Phillips article in TKC MAG very soon.<\/p>\n

Thanks for the memories and above all else the FANTASTIC cars Jeremy\u2026now go and get that dinghy sea-worthy!<\/p>\n
