lizard Porsche?
Discussion
Once Iguana sells his wonderful BMW m3 V8, advertised in PH classifieds, could this budget 911 be the way forward?

Oh dear...
I couldnt sum it up better any Don
Cost £28k to build!! what the feck!! a nice SC can be had for £8k!!
Oh the Glory of a 1.6 "Cosworth" turbo engine, that wouldnt happen to be the agricultural glory of an Esgrot RS Twatbo powerplant with a cossie badge stuck on would it!
Hmmmmm then again its only got bids for 2 grand so far after all.........

As you say Alex,,£28k is crazy money!!! for god sake add £7k and for £35k he could have got himself one of your RHD low miles never been tracked 993 RS clubsport thingies...takes all sorts

Why do they do it? It reminded me of this one which I saw today on Classic Driver, which has been seen on pistonheads before. It's still an awesome motor, though...

Jeeez now that is really nasty-
At least the kit car thing is a kit & didnt ruin a 911. Ok stupid to spend £28k to make the kit but at £2k im sure you could cope with the detractors (ive seen 1.6 engined 911 kits for sale before at £8k!!) & in truth if it is indeed a 1.6 RS turbo engine, it may be fords nastyest production engine for many years, but they can be tweeked to produce impressive power figures.(I had a hot Esgrot RS Twatbo for 2 months, quick, but well not really my type of thing- read profile, still I doubled my money in selling it on, so I liked it in some ways )
Also if the suspension set up is done well, it 'could' posibly be a fun disposable runabout. (is it a Colvin kit I wonder?)
Ok I'm not a fan of a kits looking like the real thing, why not one of the many individual looking kits out there? but on the other hand I bet a few of us are drooling over that 917 kit or a well built GT40 replica....
Anyway back to the crapheap in hand- quite simply no excuse for this vile 'creation' looks like somat Uwe Gemballa churned out in the '80s
