 The Invicta S1
The Invicta S1 sportscar is designed to be two cars in one - a luxurious Grand Tourer and a no-compromise sportscar with the potential to become a class-winning GT racing car.
For the S1 to achieve these often conflicting goals, The Invicta Car Company adopted several innovative approaches in both the design and construction phases of manufacturing its first car in modern times.
Made from 2 mm thick steel formed into 40 mm square tubes and cross-braced for maximum strength, the chassis construction uses TIG welding to give a smooth surface in the areas that are bonded to the bodyshell.

Invicta has worked in secrecy for 24 months because it wanted to show the public what it had achieved – not what it hoped to achieve.
A thoroughly modern car, the new Invicta S1 embodies the standards, quality and spirit behind the 1930’s Invicta cars – aiming to provide today’s enthusiast motorists with an exceptionally rewarding driving and ownership experience, matching the marque’s original promise to deliver “the most wonderful performance in the world”.
Fundamental to Invicta’s desire to deliver no-compromise performance in terms of handling balance and sheer speed, was the decision to mount the S1’s engine and gearbox well back in the chassis and the 100-litre fuel tank transversely between the rear wheels, to achieve close to the ideal 50/50 front/rear weight distribution.

Their Invicta car was to be fast but flexible, able to cruise at high speed and also to pull away in top gear from low revs, and the chassis was to incorporate well-developed British ideas of those times.
Seventy-seven S-Type Invictas are said to have been built before production ceased in October 1933, and 48 of these are known to have survived.
Invicta was revived briefly after the Second World War, building a large, complex car beside the A30 at Virginia Water, but it closed in 1950 shortly after Macklin, by then knighted for his wartime motor gunboats, died.

British manufacturer Invicta are producers of the S1 supercar, a 4.6 litre, 320 bhp, V8 model capable of a top speed of 170 mph, and standstill to 62 mph in a mere 5 seconds.
Driving a car at 200 mph plus is not a good idea under any circumstances, so to do so sans the gift of sight, in my mind at least, is sheer lunacy.
Cars can be driven with physical disabilities and there are cases of racing drivers losing limbs to successfully return to action in a modified vehicle, because their ability to assess (through what they see) and control the car in a race situation is still very much intact.
