The Australian sports car brand is launching two exciting models in the UK, and they will be sold through Vauxhall's VXR dealer network, priced from £39,990.

We first told you about the Elfin Streamliner in Issue 925, but the Clubman model will also go on sale. Looking like a more muscular Caterham Seven, it features the same powerplant as its Streamliner brother - a 328bhp 5.7-litre V8 - and can cover the 0-60mph sprint in four seconds.

Developed with assistance from Walkinshaw Performance, the Clubman and Streamliner will be hand-made in Melbourne, Australia, and then shipped to the UK. Two VXR dealers will sell them - one in Kent, the other in Southampton - and Vauxhall expects to find 10 buyers a year. The Clubman carries a price tag of £39,990, while the Streamliner will cost £48,000.
