YES the Nota `Fang' was made in Parramatta by Guy Buckingham, of Nota Engineering. I'm not sure how many were made over the years. The early ones did have 1275S power.

Some years back Guy returned to England. His son Chris took over the Nota Engineering name, working from his house at Dural NSW..

Chris Buckingham continued to make a few of these cars which had been redesigned a bit over the years. I drove his personal car about 5? years ago, it had Toyota 2L? Camry power in the back, fat wheels and went like a rocket!

No Idea if Nota still exists. Chris has since moved away. 8)

My cousin in Plymouth England has a marcos.

I prefer the GTM Rossa, nicer looking motor.
