Now I'm not usually one to criticise, each to his own etc, but blimey, what's this all about? When Mad Max met The Fast Lady.

And what's with the tow bar?

79 grand

dream on hooker!

laugh

even olo 5 the r type / s2 special only made about 25 grand - and that was with some serious history behind it.

and it was a fine looking car, not something that penelope pitstop might ride in!

think the decimal is in the wrong place - might have a bentley chassis, but still looks like a shed

I saw that at the BDC race meeting at Silverstone a few weeks ago. It is truly hideous. What is not apparant from the photo is how big it is, it is huge, and so tall, from the drivers seat, you would be looking down on 4x4 and truck drivers. It's like a giant tin snail, very Gilliamesque, it should have eyes at the front on big springy stalks, it really does look like some Henson animatronic rather than a car. It is also very home made looking too.

The same idea but from more humble beginnings...this probably has more integrity though.

Love the Gilliam reference above - it does capture the surreality of that loose approximation of a car.
