If you'd ever seen one of those in the metal (plastic), you'd think so. They are like the ahem, child of a TT, a Daihatsu Copen and a Metro, where they took the worst bits of each.

Its funny that there used to be several manufacturers using the rear engine -drive format , seems to have been an evolutionary dead end

Porsche and can't think of anyone else. Interestingly Ferry Porsche 'borrowed' the rear engine design for the Beetle from Czech manufacturer Tatra


VW eventually paid out for this is an out of court settlement in 1961

Wow.

I just googled for "Banham X99". I don't think I've seen a crappier piece of crap in all my life.

Cleverly, from one angle, it takes on the appearance of a red Scimitar.

And considering the new Twingo, you could say "and still do" although they've had a few years off.

I wasn't sure on the wheels, however on reflection I like them!





I just know this would be a very bad car to try running as a daily, but would love to try! The Lexus in the drive is kind of reassuring in a 'the owner is a PH type of chap' way.

It's hard to explain just how much I want that!

It's awesome.

Want. A lot. A lot of want.

If being pedantic needs to have correct gold wheels and very bright green metallic paint for a V8-S.

Now off to watch a bit of Human League on YouTube, possibly followed by Rita Sue and Bob Too.

It was originally a 2600, not a V8-S. Which is good because a 2600 has come to meet its potential!

This could be an amusing set of wheels for a while.
