Custom Car Designer Bitter developing affordable Vero Junior

Small-scale German manufacturer 'Bitter' is known for making its own breed of custom cars based on vehicles from the GM stable.

The company made a comeback last year with the release of the Vero saloon, which is based on the Aussie-made Holden Statesman and is sold in limited numbers throughout Europe.

Though exclusive and relatively unique, the Vero is a tad expensive at €121,975 considering the only changes to the donor car on which it’s based is a slightly revised exterior and dressed up cabin. Understandably, the cars have not been running out the door but to boost sales Bitter is reportedly planning a more affordable model.

Speaking with AutoWeek.nl, Erich Bitter, the man behind the automotive outfit, said there were plans for a new model to be called the Junior.
