Britain’s Forgotten Sportscar: The FBS Census

Spurred on by the success of similar small-volume manufacturers such as Jensen, Noble, and TVR, FBS tried ever so hard to carve out its own path under its two visionary leaders, Andrew Barber and Robin Hall. But for whatever reason, it just didn’t work out. This video dives into the previously-uncharted history of the Census, its design and development, brief sales performance, and the company’s downward spiral preceding its eventual capitulation in September 2003. The second half of the video is a commentary/analysis of an official CD-ROM distributed by the company, which features the car’s respective segments as shown on ITV’s Pulling Power and the 8th November, 2001 installment of Top Gear. If you would like to explore the files at your own leisure, then these will be made available, firstly as Patron bonuses before eventually making its way to the channel and to for further preservation purposes.
