I seriously do not understand this price

[kiwi Carguy]

Probably reduced due to the passenger headlight hanging out

Well it looks ace! Could always go to a 13B turbo too...

If you're interested in it I would be inclined to get a LVVTA qualified certifier to do an inspection on it. Seems like a good price . . . which is not to say it's good value until you get it checked and take it for the all important test drive.

not a fan of the looks myself (a bit like the b@stard offspring of a 7 and a Corvette)




But I imagine it goes pretty quick.

Chevron Aprisas are F**king quick... and theey look almost Elisish from the rear 3/4.

Chevron make Lotus 7 replicas... they also do rotary ones. The Aprisa is just a widebody 7 with closed-in clamshells. They look better in person.. and yeah, they're quick.

Who needs a roof, or a windscreen, or doors . . .

Ultima CanAm with a pair of Hayabusa turbos

Or a Smart Roadster with a R6 turbo - 14,500 rpm !!!!!

[mark387mw]

Karmann Ghias have an appeal.

Or this classic, a 1947 Triumph

I used to have one of these, a Rover Vitesse which was big, fast, a V8 but sh1te brakes.

I'm sorry but that is awful. It may be a good spec on paper but it looks like an abomination.

The only thing I liked in those pics was the cat

W. T. F.? slightly unorthodox!

Like I said . . . nice cat

[jamieheasman]

I actually like some aspects of it (which I'm slightly ashamed of) but it must be said that it's been done very,very well. Lovely engineering.

[GravelBen]

What the deal with the exhaust pipework coming across the front of the motor? wouldn't that cause a few heat issues?
