ADAMS BROTHERS (GB)

One of brothers we have dealt with was Herb Adams see post:

Below is some of the references to one particular vehicle which was one of most innovative designs the Adams Brothers Probe which later spawned a number of copies that entered the Kit Car industry in the UK and I believe there is still a similar variey on the market today but more practical then orginal probes (loosely based on the Probe)
in 1981 Kit car version was called a Centaur (GB)produced by CONCEPT CARS LTD (GB)

Concept cars loosly based Probe inspired kit cars
