Octane - Daytona piece

[Justayellowbadge]

Anyone seen this? There's a couple that bought a fairly decent coupe as a parts car for their racer.

It's a different world

An good article in what I felt was a poor edition of Octane. The Daytona is a beautiful car, but yellow with wires is not a combination I'd go for. An early plexiglass car in red with alloys

[Kickstart]

I love the Daytona but I think those "arty" photos of a yellow car on wires did it no favours at all.
Couldn't they have added a piece about a decent road trip with the car - I am starting to get irritated with Octane's obsession with the Bandford family - I am sure they are a lovely bunch of people but do we really have to have something from their shop every month.

Nice replica.

Has it got the Jaguar V12 engine in it?

Why don't you cut the roof off and turn it ito a spider!!! It would look awesome.

You'd think that he'd have had enough of replicas after owning that hideous 355 replica too wouldn't you? I also hear that he has a Caterham replica too and has painted it in lairy colours to disguise the fact that he can't afford the real thing.

Amazing, this car was sold autumn 2007 . . . for almost 1 million euro's.

You forgot his Aston Martin. Then again it is really a jaguar without the reliability.....

No I didn't - that one is definitely for real now that he's seen sense and put the original exhaust on it

Mind you, lots of Volvo bits in there aren't there?

Thing is it would be nice if the red thing ever saw the light of day

Probably shouldn't have sold it in the first place
