Fox Manor Automotive Inc.
Ladies, Gentlemen, Welcome to Fox Manor Automotive.
We were founded in 1972 by Diego Manor and Garret "Fox" Daniels, as a privateer racing team based in Toronto, Canada, who jumped between cars from various manufacturers, before building our own in 1977, known simply as the Fox-Manor Duet GT6. It crashed an hour into the Le mans race that year, badly injuring our driver, Mico Garatini. We didn't take part in '78, but in '79, entered with the Duet GT-7 "Garatini," with which we placed 17th. We went on to continue racing the GT-7 until '84 when we weren't being competitive, so we decided to leave Le Mans racing.
In '87, we debut our new road car/race car concept at the Le Mans race that year. We named it the Fox-Manor Garatini, in honor of Mico, with an S model, an R model and an LM model, with the LM being a track-only vehicle, and the S and R models being the road editions. However, later that year, Fox-Manor would have to declare bankruptcy, and fade out of existence.
Jump to 2006, when the Fox-Manor name would return, as Fox Manor Automotive. The men who bought the company back would be none other than Deigo's son, Edio Manor, and LMP2 driver, Darius Flemmings, who's father drove the Duet GT-7 in 1979 and 1981. They would return, again at Le Mans, with an LMP2 car, the Fox Manor GT-8. Later that same year, they would announce a concept car, the Fox Manor Solo. Jump ahead to 2010, with the steady production of the Solo, we decided to branch onto a more suitable car for the everyday user, while still feeling like a Fox Manor, so we launched the Wolfie, a stupid V8 wagon. Now jump to 2014, and the announcement of another sport/super car, currently known as "Project Syphon." Nothing more has been able to be said.

"We make cars for people to have fun in, not for people to have a family with" - Nickky Hammion, Head Designer of Vehicles
"If you want to go fast, buy a Ferrucci, If you want to turn a corner without shitting your pants, buy a Fox Manor." - Edio Manor, CEO
CURRENT LINE-UP (Pictures to come as another post):
Fox Manor Solo - The Current Sports car, with meaningful handling, and a bit of Canadian Flair.
Fox Manor Wolfie - From a PR standpoint this is for the "Regular Joe," from Edio, he's said this is our income, and the car is utterly pointless.
Fox Manor "Project Syphon" - Currently not much is known about this car, however we know it will be fast!
Fox Manor GT-13 - Our LMP2 Racer. (Unable to build.)
{Unannounced Cars} (#Teaser)
Fox Manor Wolfie SuperSportage - A separate model from the standard Wolfie, this is a V10 monster. Watch your back. (Also a Sedan, not a Wagon)
Fox Manor XV-i77 - FM's first look into Hybrid technology. Straight into a mid-engine monster.
PREVIOUS VEHICLES:
Fox-Manor Duet GT6 - With only one built, and it crashed, we have no clue how it looked, as it was designed on a napkin.
Fox-Manor Duet GT-7 "Garatini" - With only four built, it's very hard to find them. We have one on display at the factory. We are looking for the others. Please contact us if you have any information.
Fox-Manor Garatini - We only have pictures, as the concepts were sold on when we went defunct. both the S and R were scrapped. We believe the LM is out there.
