This looks like something that could have been in a Top Gear challenge, was originally a Ford Cortina

That's brilliant! I'd drive that just to annoy people. Pity it's in Brum and has no M.O.T I don't have a trailer big enough to collect it.

Be interesting to fix that up and use it for a le-mans trip

Looks like it's straight out of "Chatsworth Council Estate" LOL

Awesome. Worth buying just to put some giant fake angry eyes behind the upper windows, to create the ULTIMATE giant mobile killer bespectacled fridge.
Spend the rest of your zooming up behind people, with the driver in front slowly mouthing WTF each time.

Really, that is quite outstanding and deserves more of a look. How does one even start the ball rolling with that modification....so many questions, but mostly who do they think will buy that(unless that price reflects the need for a respray)??

Richard Meaden posted it on Twitter but hasn't revealed the source as yet - he did post another one though:

Not sure about this one the wheels are terrible as are the rear light covers

I quite like this, sort of an 80s Koenig feel about it.

The rear light clusters are not great but neither are the originals.

IMO by no means badly modified.

those wheels have the potential to be fantastic on a contemporary Jag but the body kit and other plastic atrocities spoil them.

Here you go

just me or does this 'Ferrari' look a little like a very poor Noble copy?

That's a 'Le Mans' bodykit from 2007, based on the SARD MC8-R from 1996:



A later incarnation:

Edited by Gaz. on Friday 23 March 01:56

It's a kit made by a company called NV Autostyling, it was an attempt to be a sort of Veilside Fortune style kit for the MR2. It was just bloody hideous though.

You really have to be on class A's to think positively about any of that.

That's right - it's DJ Rush in his pimped up Rover / MG (complete with prototype front-mounted intercooler):

Does it have a turbo?

I suspect that's not a question even the owner has considered...
