1973 saw Epoch re-release a version of the Artemus as the Epoch Artemus 3000 Mk2 with some minor updates, this time world-wide. Where the previous model sold in 1967 was restricted to 200 examples in right-hand-drive only, this time it was offered in both right- and left-hand-drive, with 2000 built of each variant. Whilst only small changes were made to the exterior (new, more aerodynamic headlights, for example), the engine and suspension setup was improved and modernised. This allowed the new Artemus 3000 to handle a lot more predictably, give a much more usable power band, ensure it was unleaded fuel compatible, and return a more reasonable 16.8L/100kms (down from the previous 23L/100kms). The performance figures were either matched or exceeded, although the final cost increased from $1,487 to $2,132 ($12,102 adjusted).
