Aeon Sportscars Limited is a British manufacturer of automobiles. [1]
The company was founded on November 3, 2000, in Marden, Kent. [2] Keith Wood and John Timothy Hewat became directors on July 1, 2001. [2] They began producing automobiles and kits in 2003. The brand name is Aeon. Since March 31, 2007, Susan Heather Wood has been the second director. [2] Hewat left the company at the same time and founded Blaze Motorsport. Doncaster based Exceed Autocraft, led by Matthew Flett, was the licensee from 2011 to 2021. [3] A total of around 17 copies have been created so far. [1]
The first model was the GT 3 Coupé in 2003. Special features of the coupé are the three-seater design, with the driver sitting in the middle, and the gullwing doors. The engine usually comes from Ford. The GT 2 Coupé, which has been available since 2011, conventionally has two seats next to each other. The coupés have found around twelve buyers so far. [1]
The GT 3 Spyder appeared in 2004. This is the open version of the coupe. The vehicles are usually powered by a four-cylinder engine from Volkswagen with a displacement of 1,800 cm3 and a turbocharger. Initially also three-seater, since 2011 there has also been the GT 2 Spyder and GT 2 Aero with two seats next to each other. So far, around five copies of the Spyder have been built. [1]
The Epona was designed by Garry Gooderham. Aeon Sportscars presented a model at a trade fair in 2009, but did not put it into series production. Exceed Autocraft has been trying since 2011. This lightweight, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car is planned as a coupe and roadster.[ citation needed ]
