The AGM WLR, 2007 overall winner of the 1000 km race in Palanga

The first model was the WLR . This was an open two-seater racing car with street legal approval. Different four-cylinder engines from Ford and V8 engines of Rover were available. Many parts came from the Ford Sierra . About 30 copies of this model were made by 2014.

The Revolution-X was technically similar . The front of the vehicle was in the style of the Lotus Seven . However, the rear fenders were fully integrated into the body. The vehicle was presented for the first time in 2005 and then offered for years. However, only one vehicle has survived.

The Ron Champion was just the fiberglass body for a Lotus Seven-style vehicle. The buyer had to organize the chassis himself. Nevertheless, there were around 50 buyers as of 2008.

The Haynes Roadster appeared in 2011, was designed in the same way and found around ten buyers.
