Designed as the safest car in the world and launched to brutal press reviews at the Hotel New Yorker, Manhattan Nov. 1957, the Aurora flopped because of its strange looks.

This is the only known example and is the prototype and launch vehicle. It was found decrepit in a field in Connecticut in 1993.

After many hundreds of hours of restoration, The Aurora's first outing was to the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2004. The 'Cars of the future' display was the main attraction in the Cartier Concours De Elegance area and of the 6 cars displayed Andy proudly exhibited 3.

The Aurora rubbed windshields with the Alfa Roma Bat 7, the Fiat Turbina, Renault's car of the future concept, as well as Andy's own X2000 and Indecision. All 6 cars were brilliantly displayed on a red Martian soil landscape with all kinds of Space paraphernalia, and the whole display was a fantastic success.

The Aurora and the X-2000 were both chosen as the centre piece of a special exhibition held at Beaulieu Motor Museum in 2005.

This was only the second outing out for the Aurora, and it was kept company by the X-2000 on center stage. The Run-a-ground was also displayed at the exhibition, not a bad turn out of Andy's work

The exhibition ran from the end of March to March 2006, and to top it all Andy was asked to open the exhibition.
