I like the new Costin Roadster.....

Sorry to say, I don't really. I've tried, but failed.

[Sam_68]

It's a Costin. It's supposed to look a bit odd.

[Ferg]

Yes, I know.
I HAVE tried, honest.

I love the windscreen shape.....

The front (inc. screen) is great, Italo, it's the back I can't figure....

It would seem that all the creative effort went into the front and the back was forgotten.

You can always change the rear......

I think it would look a darn sight better painted a pastel colour like Almond Green or Sky Blue with minilights or GT40'esque Halibrands with spinners on. As is stands, with Halfords-ramraided blingy wheels and that stoooopid painjob it looks just hideous. Actually, Sky Blue with Gold Spinnered' Halibrands i think it would look quite gorgeous. Photoshop anyone????

Light Metallic Silver, and wobbly web clone type wheels I think that would be interesting.

I was hoping to see it at Stoneleigh but it only made it to Detling.

No doors either and quite a high bodyline.

Like you ferg Im trying but not quite getting there

[hal 1]

Not for me i'm afraid, however if it was the costin amigo we were looking at, that would be different, google it, see what you think

[Sam_68]

I'm not that keen on the Amigo, either, to be honest.

I would really love an accurate (including plywood monocoque) replica of the Costin Nathan GT or the spaceframe Costin Lister Jaguar GT, but as a general rule you'd only buy a Costin for the intriguing engineering, not the looks!

[hal 1]

Both cars very good looking IMHO, i wouldn't mind one in my garage that's for sure, it must be my taste but i do find the older kind of designs like those + marcos of course, more appealing

[fuoriserie]

Did some research on the net for older Costin sportscar pictures...

a few more of the Costin Nathan GT

[fuoriserie]

found these older pictures of the Roadster prototype that I like, .....but I wouldn't mind seeing a design of a coupe alternative made out of the roadster, with the rear of the Red Nathan GT.......

That burgundy racer is pure porn to me. But the metallic blue one with red wheels is like Gordon Brown in Y-fronts. No it is worse than that. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!! Apart from a few exceptions, 60's racing cars do not work with modern metallic paint jobs. This is an exception! And the red wheels are a definate no.
