The Siva S160 Spyder is an automobile which was produced during the 1970s [1] in Great Britain [2] by Siva Engineering.[3]
Conceived as a Hillman Imp-engine GT car for British sports car manufacturer Marcos, the car was ultimately re-designed to become the Siva S160 Spyder.[1] The S160 was released at the 1971 Racing Car Show,[1] utilising a Volkswagen Beetle floorpan and running gear and featuring a gullwing coupé body.[2] It was offered as a complete car and as a bare bodyshell.[1] A total of twelve S160s were produced.[1]
