Spex Design Corporation was a kit car manufacturer based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The company was founded by Paul Deutschman (also known for the T-Rex, Porsche Spexter and Callaway cars like the C7 Corvette and CS Camaro) and Kell Warshaw in 1982.[1] The company made a kit called Spex Elf that was somewhere between a body kit and a kit car based on the first-generation (1973–1979) Honda Civic. By cutting off the roof and side panels and adding a steel subframe and fibreglass body, it allowed a quite easy conversion of a Honda Civic into a roadster. The kit used many parts from the donor Civic, but the front light came from the Honda Accord and the rear light from Mercury Capri.[2] The company made about 20 kits before selling the molds.
