1982 to mid 90s
|
The RW Karma started life as an American import. Body molds were taken from the American version and adapted for the UK market.
|
Roger Woolley was the man to bring the Karma to the UK kit scene and initially produced it using the VW Beetle floorpan and all running gear - a popular route to the kit car market in the day. Over 1000 kits were produced in total, a great achievment, although you don't tend to see many on the road today.
|
It wasn't long before customers demanded more power so a custom chassis was produced to take mid-engined power up to V8 engines. The Rover V8 was the V8 of choice. Fibreglass work was questionable and can make tired Karma's look rough. There are a few peaches here and there though.
