What a bizarre thing to do... At least the workmanship looks good, it's just the design that's odd, the shapes at the front don't blend together at all.

Stuff like this based on an old Jap coupe makes some kind of sense to me. Based on an already interesting, exotic ish and £15k+ vehicle? Odd.

I guess he did due to Alfa using the 4200 platform and powertrain, guess that makes it a bit more authentic than a jap car .

Personally on the fence with it, kind of looks like a 8c, but has some strange angles. I think the time and money would have been better fitting 3200 boomerang tail lights. I do like the wheels though.

Can't see anything without joining the group, which is a step too far.

Maybe he has a long reverse down his driveway and needs the extra cooling?

I'm assuming that isn't an actual rallycar but still one too many lamp pods.

They are not lamp pods, they are aftermarket DRLs.

He certainly has.

Possibly an Omega grille?

Anyone fancy a lovely Maserati 4200 messed around with to (supposedly!) resemble an Alfa 8C?






I actually don't mind the looks of the back - but why?!

I MUCH prefer the rear lights over the standard 4200 items tho. Not as slick as the boomerangs on the 3200, but still an improvement

I don't mind that at all.

I agree about the later tail-lights, they always looked like they were nicked from an early Fiesta or Astra.

I never liked the boomerangs though, they left too much dead space between the lamps and the boot lid.

although, I just discovered that someone is doing a rear light conversion kit for the 4200.

It may be back on my list of next cars when the V8 MX5 dies

That would look half as bad in a metallic color with wheels that filled the gaps

its obviously unfinished

"Finishing" it isn't going to help.

It might if 'finishing' includes two gallons of petrol and an ignition source.

Minus the front end I think it looks quite good, wheels suit it.
