Welcome to our Biota sports car website
On this site we share information about our own car. We also aim to locate, document and keep track of as many surviving Biota's as possible, and post this information for all interested.
Of the estimated total of 31 Biota's built by Houghton & Coldwell Engineering from 1969 to 1974, we traced about 25 Biota's in the UK, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Japan. However, many details about these and other cars are still unknown to us.
To further complete the picture we kindly invite you to contact us if you have any additional information available.

Apparently this Biota has a Yamaha R1 motorcycle engine installed instead of the Mini A or A+ engine. Must be a rocket!!!
