Look what's been done to this 350i!!

[smash]

It's currently a one off but the company was considering marketing a full kit...













Build thread here: http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/forum/showthread.p...

There's no complete pics of it but it's now running wire wheels rather than the spiders

Whilst it's not a true replica it's like a TVR version of the GTO - there's a definite hint of Tuscan about it!

I really like it as a restomod type car - quite a stunner. The prancing horse shouldn't be on it and I wouldn't have chosen a flapper engine (surprise!)...but very, very nice

Perhaps this would be more apt.........

pretty sure the red one is built on a tuscan , not obvious when they dropped the wedge and moved to the tuscan in the threads about it thou. ah found it , end of page 2.

Thought it looked like a Tuscan! So the wedge was sacrificial then.

And actually yeah, the number plate is a dead give away - too new for a wedge. Doh!

I can imagine some of the Tuscan boys not being impressed - especially a couple of the "superior" ones who were at the Back Home Black Tie do.

So they butcher and then dump the Wedge only to mutilate a Tuscan..Bunch of wkers...Ferrari wannabee's..Cant afford a real one so lets destroy something British and turn it into spaghetti....Got some lovely British wine that they can stick a Frascati label on...

To be fair there are quite a few dying TVRs out there especially Tuscans where the cars performance exceeds the drivers skill. What he's done is fairly well executed, at least with a speed six he'll have a vaguely raucous engine note.

The other kits are based on a Datsun 240z. Come on would you want children pointing at you shouting "nice Datsun" when they here the wheezy engine approaching,and that's from someone who's in the process of rebuilding their tuscan.

@Zig - Deal! Mangusta is way cheaper, lol!

I think the Tuscan GTO is fab - just wish he had made it restomod looking - big rims etc - rather than going wire wheels and all the oem stuff.

[adam quantrill]

I like it! At last - a reliable Fezza I can work on, and cheap to run too!

An ideal second "Wedge" - well maybe - if they did a convertible.
