Studio Focus: SAIC European Design Centre

The studio was opened in 2010 after a £5million investment in SAIC's UK Technical Centre but such are the ambitions of the company that it has already received a further £1.5million investment to almost double its size.

Mann's Duesey had all the looks of a winner, with its long front hood, flowing fenders and two seats way in the back.
