Hmm, RV8 lower panels with flared arches on a BGT. Not sure whether I like it or not - it makes the glasshouse look rather delicate compared to the rest of the body.

I wonder how it was done. It says 1994 which means it's originally based on an RV8 not a MGB. Must have been re-shelled, I suppose.

sorry that's a classic case of 'lost in translation' really does nothing for me and unless the picture is poor it seems quite scabby too (again I'll accept this could well be another 'l.i.t.' situation)

The black is a vinyl wrap hence the 'scabbiness'. It's done <60k which is nothing one of these and the engine has been fully built recently. More period wheels on it and I think it'd be an 11/10.

Wonder if they took a older MG and welded the roof on, maybe its fabricated from scratch...

Still wondering the price as that is nice, but cant see it demanding that much of a premium over the £16k the RV8 usually costs.

Wow, what's that ?
Best looking car I've seen for years on here
Its a Mazda RX3 smile
Ahh, these things used to disturb my sleep most weekends in Sydney. You've never heard anything like a peripheral ported rotary. Was the chavmobile of choice in the day, suspect they are probably a bit pricey now!! Do like the looks though.

More like the size of the Turbo, hope is got a bird filter for the air intake but I think the turbo blade probably would shred the bird.

The Mustang is great, but fairly sure I posted it a year or so back when it was at SEMA.
