Eskil Roland Lindström was a race driver during the mid war period and after World War II he built a series of nine sports cars based on parts from motorcycles and standard cars. The first engine came from a Douglas motorcycle, later it was replaced by a 600 cc two stroke DKW engine giving 14.5 HP. It was connected to a three-speed gearbox mounted in the middle of the car. The grille came from a Ford Model B, but lowered. Many of the chassis parts came from BMW Dixi, a German copy of Austin Seven. The car was very light, only 520 kg and the top speed was 100 km/h.
