Vertige

Steve Cropley at Gilk’s Garage Café

Thank you to everyone who attended our talk between our founder Robin Wells, and legendary motoring journalist, Autocar’s Steve Cropley, at Gilk’s Garage Café back in July.

The event was a huge success, with visitors greeted by a Vertige lineup outside the café – including a bare chassis, for those who really wanted to get under the car’s skin, and Steve was on top form too. Afterwards, guests also had a chance to listen to Chief Engineer for the Vertige, Robin Hall, about his role in creating the structure and chassis dynamics of the car.

Make sure to follow Wells Motor Cars on Instagram, where we’ve posted photos from this event and others, and stay tuned for further talks, events and appearances.

Sustainable fuels

If you’re sensing some doom and gloom over the direction the automotive industry is going in, then hopefully we can brighten your day with some exciting new developments at Wells Motor Cars.

In recent months we’ve been running the Vertige on Sustain Classic 80, a bio-fuel from Sustain Fuels. It’s chemically identical to traditional fossil fuel petrol, but made from second-generation bio waste from the agricultural and farming industries that would otherwise go directly to landfill.

The ‘80’ in the name refers to the blend we’ve been using, which is 80% bio-fuel and 20% fossil fuel, but the company is aiming for 100% not too far down the road. The best news for us is that it works brilliantly, and fits the ethos of the low-impact, lightweight Vertige perfectly.

There’s some way to go until the cost comes down and it’s viable for everyone, but for now at least, we’ve done the testing and can confirm it works. It could be the perfect way to keep the Vertige, as well as other great sports cars, classic cars, and more, working well into the future.
