Established in 1934 , a young lad named Steven Copeland managed to open up his own car company in Norwich. His idea was to make an affordable fast cars and possibly weird combination cars like sports van , station wagon with inline 3 and so on.
Although Copeland Motors was established in 1934 , they had rough start where they can only producing steels for big car company like Jaguar , Rolls-Royce and so on. Their first car has been created. in 1941 which is Copeland Gargoyle.

I can not even predict the cars that will come of this. Inline 3 wagon? boi
There’s a strangely Beetle-esque-ness to the styling here. Was that one of the inspirations?
Yeah, you can outrun them, but can you even stop the car? xD

Well , Beetle wasn’t my source inspiration. I designed it and somehow turned it into Beetle-esque design some particular reasons.
Who even cares about brake , am i right? lol.

206 HP in 1943 is absurd, the Panzer tanks barely even had 300HP back then
Bugatti 57C Atlantics were allegedly packing a hair north of 200 horsepower a few years prior, and some race cars of the time were making over double that. Merc’s W125 was cranking out in the neighborhood, or sometimes in excess, of 600 horses. Granted, that amount of power is still quite silly considering the chassis technology of the time, but it’s perhaps not quite as farfetched as you might think. It’s definitely extreme for a '43 street car, though.
-I have a 200hp machine at home
-did you buy an airplane?
-Nope, it’s a Copeland

I’ve made worse absurd. 300 HP in 1952 with 125mm tyres.
At the end of the World War II, rubber demands were getting higher and higher due to military’s need for making vehicle for soldiers at the battlefield. Meanwhile , Copeland Motors had to halt their assembly line due to lackness of rubber for their car and they had to making metals for military instead. The unfinished cars had to scrapped due to metal’s demand and rubber and thus there’s a small quantity of unfinished Gargoyle that didn’t made into scrap metals and making them pretty valuable in the future.

1996 Copeland Hastur Turbo
Redefining the true 60’s British sports car with it’s lightweightness with sport interior and weight around 1200kg. A British equivalent to American Dodge Viper if you would say.

Lololol , guys i accidently deleted Hastur Turbo while i’m doing “house-cleaning” in Automation. Apologise if some of you guys wants to see the full-spec of Hastur Turbo.
I’ll make the updated or spiritual successor to Hastur Turbo if i can.
Again , sorry if you guys wants to see the full information about Hastur Turbo!
I don’t want to sound like an ass but I suggest to always export the car when you’re done and save the ZIP file in a folder, that’s what I started doing after all my cars constantly bugged out 2-3 months ago, it saved my skin several times.
