What the hell is that?! What's it based on?!
They seriously reckon they'll get 10 grand for that? It's not even vaguely the right shape. How high does the roof want to be?!
Brilliant! What a find!

Maybe I need my eyes checked cos that looks nothing like a McLaren.
No mention of any engine specs, I'm guess it's based on an old Sierra or something equally exotic.

Possibly a Metro or car of that sort. Really made me laugh! Just what exactly he was thinking!!!

That's not a McLaren. That's two thirds of a Renault Scenic.

Which two thirds?!!
Could it be one of those MR2 to Ferrari conversion projects, gone horribly awry?!
I fear it could actually be Metro-based - plenty of room up front for the engine. Which would leave one hell of a boot!
I'm gonna have to ask...

Can't see anything on this monitor! I've emailed the bloke a few questions. Hopefully be able to shed some light.

It looks like the product of a mating between a flying saucer and a sun lounge on wheels! Or is that too imaginative?
Should this be merged with the ugly car thread?!

The price is somewhat optimistic, but there clearly has been some effort put into this 'car'. You never know, it might have a V12 in there somewhere...
Not for me though.

John, I was thinking about merging the two threads! I think that has to be the worst 'replica' since the Beetle based Countach abominations from many years back! Most replica's at least look like the car they replicate even if they give the game away at the turn of the key (4 cyl Cobra? V8 Countach, rear engined Bugatti Type 35.....)

Oh dear, 'Volvo estate conversion' was the first thing that popped into my head...
