Alledgedly. (I wouldnt know the difference).

Sitting outside Austec Racing in Crawley (has been for some time) there is what I thought was a real Muira (and was then told to go look in the back).

Upon further inspection it has a TVR (guessing RV8 of some description) engine in the back and was told the car was a fake, I mean copy

Anyone own up to it? I bet it shifts now (or will when finished)

As Ive already said, I wouldnt know the difference but to my very untrained eye, I thought it looked the real McCoy.

We've seen the fake Countachs, and one or two fake Diablos (on the Lambo Supercar run?) but its the first time Ive seen or heard of a Muira 'copy'

Not only does it have a TVR engine in, the body is also shorter and narrower. Paint is a little poor, exhusts are wrong, intakes at the front are wrong (I think). From a distance without the guide dog perhaps!!!!
Someone loves it and thats the main thing.

There is a company that will make a real good copy one for you, but for the life of me I cant remember their name. Any offers or I'll have to wait till I get home and check the "anoraks encyclopedia"
