I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, and don't want to offend anyone, but why would you??? I am struggling to see / say anything nice about that... Are they Ford Mondeo lights on a Jaguar?? :-0

I cannot see ANY cohesive lines, curves, shutlines or indeed anything attractive. the headlights are particulary offensive.

I need to go to Specsavers, actually I did, but TBH I don't think its that bad. Compared to other Banham offspring anyway.

The Banham Sprite on a mini was quite clever, and looked like a sprite to me. And the RS200 would fool many a Ford fan if it overtook them. That is far worse...

I loved the sprite. Some major surgery needed to be carried out on the mini though

Also did something on the 356 Porsche too iirc

Mondeo rear and Corsa B front lights.
I think it's ugly too.

The pre face lift fixed head XJS is a nice looking car.
'Best to leave them as they are?

Didn't the Sprite use "Indespension" units at the rear?
As I come from the era when the old Mk 1 Sprite was current I looked at them a bit
Ramblings: I turned 17 in 1970 and wanted a "Frogeye" as my first car, looked for over 2 years and every one for sale was rotten then. Ended up with a Mk 2 Midget instead. Never got my "Frogeye". Guess I couldn't fold my legs enough to get in one now......
