This is the launch in Autosport (Nov 1995):

And February 1996. Quote from my Dad too. Couldnt find a driver with the budget in the end. Bit of a shame. Although Plato relatively walked it I think.

Fantastic looking cars, probably inspiration for the elise imo

I doubt it, released at pretty much the same time, I hate to say it but having driven both cars the Elise is better, also, race trim spiders are heavier than road a road car Elise.
The other thing that pains me is, I beat an ex race spider by a massive margin in the sprints local to me, in my road going Clio....
I must say though, the spider is ultimately more desirable, as it was only produced for 18 months.....
