Just seen this in the kit car forum, not sure what to make of it really, see what you think.........

Considering various Sagaris panels formed the basis of the shape, is this not IP infringement?

No Worse than those MR2 "Ferraris"!

I think it's wk, but it should be taken as a compliment. Imitation is highest form of flattery after all.

I think it's hateful, and Ferrari take quite a dim view of the MR2 'nasties', especially if they carry prancing horse badges.

Just my 2 penneth.

It doesn't float my boat, but I've seen a lot worse kit cars and to be honest, apart from the proportions
which I think are wrong myself, he has not done a bad job of it.

I'm sure some people will like it and good luck to them.

Can't agree more. I think there'll be plenty of folks who like it, perhaps even more so for the relative convenience the MX-5 running gear offers compared to a TVR.

I don't have any issues with it borrowing TVR styling influences, agree about the proportions being slightly 'off' and in common with a lot of kit cars it seems to have lost its way a bit on the arse end styling
think its mainly the rear light clusters that look odd. It actually highlights just how hard it is to produce a beautiful body shape that looks 'right" TVR were pretty consistently on the money with their highly original designs over the years, looking forward to the next instalment

All that aside it should go well with the Lexus V8 in though

Hats off to the guy having a go..but it does look like something you would pull out of a Kinder Egg Surprise!

That rear kind of reminds me of the Maserati GranTurismo, although it's not quite right either. Bit of a mix of a few different designs there I think. Also looking forward to TVR's next chapter.

One thing must be said about the kit car though:



At least he's fixed the T350 fuel filler cap issue

Might make an interesting track day weapon with the right donor and engine
