Apollo (1971 automobile)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Apollo was an English car produced for personal use by one Allen Pearce in Hornchurch, Essex between 1971 and 1972.
The Can-Am racer-inspired gull wing doored sports car was a glass fibre bodied vehicle based on the Volkswagen Beetle, and was originally intended purely for Pearce's own use but nearly entered production as a kitcar in 1972.
It should not be confused with the Buick Apollo, a cousin of the Chevrolet Nova.
