It is said that ...
"Success has a Thousand Fathers and Failure is an Orphan".

   

A success like the Redback Spyder is no exception.

The Redback Team consists of many talented individuals and leading automtive technology companies. These include...

Nick Tomkinson

Nick is the eldest son of Colonel and Lady Tomkinson-Smythe, Commanding Officer of Her Majesty's 27th Armoured Thunderboxes, who served in India before dying abruptly of tigers.

After early career misadventures including a stints with the P76, Camira and Ford AU design teams, Nick decided that Australia really needed to celebrate spiralling fuel prices with a car that gets you there faster.

Hence the Redback was born - getting you moving faster than a spider bite on the bum.

 

Grommet is the Technical and Design Supervisor. Warm days take their toll on his supervisory capacity.

Grommet also specialises in rear wheel irrigation testing.

 

Michael Filla

At over 6 foot 3 inches tall, Michael is ideally suited to being an aircraft engineer with Qantas as any wing level maintenance can be done without ladders.

Companies

   Ironcad Software
Designing a car like the Redback takes more than just a few chalk lines on the garage floor - It takes some industrial strength Computer Aided Design software like Ironcad.

Ironcad was used exclusively to produce over 500 technical drawings to enable the visualisation, design, fabrication and assembly at all stages of the Redback build sequence.

Daltech
Websites dont just build themselves - they need to cobbled together out of bits left lying about the software house.

If you need some help with your cobbled together software, call Daltech.

 

Panoramic Images
Photos dont take themselves either. And sleek shiny things like the Redback are very difficult to capture on film.

If you own a sleek shiny thing and want some decent images of it, get onto Panoramic Images.
