[2] First exhibited at the 1974 Melbourne International Motor Show,[1] the Eureka was based on the British Nova kit car design of 1971.

[3] It utilised a Volkswagen Beetle chassis,[4] a fibreglass body [3] and, most commonly, an air-cooled Volkswagen flat-four or a Ford inline four-cylinder engine.

[4] Some cars with Mazda rotary powerplants were also produced.

[2] The Eureka was offered both as a kit car and as a fully assembled vehicle.

[5] The coupe body had no doors, with access being via a manually operated one-piece canopy, although a power-operated canopy was later offered as an option.
