Erin Motor Company - Showroom Thread [SUPER AVENTA REDESIGN]
Overview
The Erin Motor Company - proud makers of a multitude of 4 wheeled creations since 1959!
Beginning life as a racing team in the early 1950s, Erin rose to fame as the underdogs in major sporting events such as Le Mans and Touring Car Racing. A request from a rich American motoring enthusiast for "his own Erin" led to the founding of the company as a mass producer of high end sports cars, before expanding into the saloon and small car market during the 1960s.
A massive drop in profits in the late 70s almost brought the company to ruin, but it only led to the rebranding of Erin as a maker of safe, practical and good looking cars. Today, Erin makes everything from supermini's to executive saloons to high end sports cars.
Their in-house tuning company, The X Department, design sportier versions of their cars, as well as being the manager's of ErinSport, the company's race team.
