MMM. I am torn. The car, to me, looks like an XK 120, influenced by TVR. The Convertible is purer XK 120.

Is this any bad thing? mmm. On an aesthetic level it is not quite there for me. I need to drive it or see it (and hear it) race I suppose to see if it gives me any emotional response above ambivalence.

I like that it exists and the hard work that has gone into this car is evident , though I also can't afford one right now so perhaps it doesnt matter what I think


Eh?? Its a blatant Austin Healey 3000 copy.

Saying that, its a good looking car and I wouldn't say no :-)

"Top industrial design nomination for GT"

This is a joke right?

Actually, no that's right, I heard that Stevie Wonder was head of the judging panel, although I'm suprised that his enhanced sense of smell didn't pick up on the steaming pile of turd in front of him.

A Wiesmann is a totally different beastie compared to the XK's or H's . . .



Inspiration to the W they might have been . . . Not bad to take those for examples.

I think they're decent looking cars, nice to have the German TVR attitude there as well.

However I thought Wiesmann made decent quality boilers???? hehe
