Has anyone made this Dino Replica?

Looks rather tidy to my untrained eyes!

Now Den, you can't go around leaving things hanging like that!!!

It's highly unlikely that I'll be building anything for ages anyway due to lack of space/time/money (joy!) but if I did go for a Dino then my thoughts were more along the lines of having Banks in Southport knock up one of their nice Lotus Europa chassis with associated gubbins (minor items like wheels and engine) and then simply source the body shell and interior fittngs from said kit manufacturer and stick it all together - easy

I've been highly inspired by this thread and the guy that fitted a dino shell onto a Europa chassis years ago.

BTW anyone know how heavy the Alfa V6 is? Is it an alloy block or pig iron? The all up weight given for the kit is 1080kg which is a bit chunky in my books even with a 240bhp V6 in the back.

Cheers,
Rob

The second photo in that classickitcars link is actually a real Ferrari Dino. I know this because I used to have that very picture as my Windows background in about 1995!

yep I've come across a few copies of that one during web research.

I am notoriously difficult to replicate!

Yes but how much do you cost to build and how much power?!!

It's about time the company sent me some info in the mail, been over a week since I requesed some, not a great sign for normal businesses, perhaps acceptable kit-car manufacturer practice though

Or it could be due to our militant post office workers?

Possibly, not quite sure how this strike is working though as I got post everyday last week including parcels delivered separately from the main post. Strange way to run a strike that!
