Margretetorp

February 2003, a village called Margretetorp near Angelholm in the far south of Sweden.

A heritage building with a thatched roof is on fire.

Inside that building is a car company, a small one.

It took until the year 2000 for a full carbon fiber production prototype to appear at the Paris Motor Show.

Six years of work for a car nobody had bought.

In early 1999, the company had moved from Olofström across the country to Margretetorp, near Angelholm on the southwest coast.

A bigger workshop, a heritage building with a thatched roof.

In 2001, a man called Stefan Reekman placed a deposit, the first customer seven years in.
