Biota Products

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Biota Products Ltd. was a British automobile manufacturer based in Dinnington , South Yorkshire .

In 1968 the Biota Mk. I was built there, which was an Austin / Morris Mini with a doorless plastic body. The buggy was powered by the 0.85 l four-cylinder engine of the Mini, which developed 34  bhp (25 kW).

In the same year, the brand disappeared again from the market because the demand was too low.
