Lightspeed Panels 

Lightspeed Panels came to the kit car scene in 1972 with the announcement of their sports tourer car the Magenta. Hailing from Whitby Yorkshire the company had been working for 18 months to get the car ready for launch. The company did extremely well with it and the Magenta became a great seller over the years and the company made several improvements to come up with slightly different versions of it. They also were amongst the first to try their hand at producing a family orientated hatchback in the Tarragon but ultimately the appeal of the cars couldn't keep pace with customer expectations and the company disappeared in the mid 80's
