Imagine how good that thing must sound !

I love the fact that the engine in that "BMW" appears to be mostly inside the cabin.

That´s very cool, but why go to the trouble of a carbon dash then stick those horrible-looking tin-plate seats in it? because NASCAR/NHRA/etc?

I'd like a distressed version of the Stars and Stripes IMSA M3 on mine tbh

Someone who does wraps plz sponsor me thanks.

Not a clue...presume it may be from a packaging perspective as two modern bucket seats look hugely out of place/ like they barely fit in a classic mini.

Never seen the appeal of those seats though - definitely getting old at 30, as they just look horrific to spend any amount of time in!

They're actually supposed to be pretty comfortable, more than you'd think at least. And light and very supportive.

Depends on the driver, too fat and you dont fit, too skinny and its your bones on the metal. If you are average weight they are actually pretty comfortable, not sure I would use for a 600 mile drive however.

On that Yellow mini Van. I like the little extra rosejoints from the frame to the body

I actually preferred the version before the current spaceframe one slightly more.

Glad they've gone back to BMW power and ditched the 1JZ.

Don't like the colour but otherwise that looks spot on!

I like that BGT: but the wheels are a bit too big, and the black windscreen surround looks cheap. I am toying with the idea of a Project BGT (I had a Roadster years ago and loved it). This would be good inspiration.

That lovely Aston Martin light green metallic for me though, please...

Amazing. Wheels are too big though.

Have you had a look at Frontline Development's cars? http://www.frontlinedevelopments.com/

I never quite understood them until I had a look at their stand at Goodwood last year. The price is, well, unpleasant...but the product looks absolutely phenomenal. Quality of trim, paint and finish was stunning and told they drive better than they look, too.

[Harry Flashman]

Oooh.

Want.

They look better in the flesh.

When I read about them, I liked what they did but fundamentally wasn't interested; it was for someone else.

When I saw one of the cars, I got it; it's just as good as you would want it to be. It looks like an MG but is a little, bespoke, ball of wonderment.

[Harry Flashman]

£86k+ for the roadster though. I#m pretty sure I could get an immaculate, re-shelled one for £20k and spend £30k to getting it to 75% of the spec of the Frontline. Or a good, but cosmetically duff (needing paint rather than welding) one for £10k and have a bespoke paint job too...

Still. What a lovely little thing.

Very nice. Not 100% certain about the arches, don't like the polishing on the wheels and if you do the windscreen surround in black, you need to do all the chrome black. But I'm just nitpicking.
