Why would anyone spunk a million quid on a Reventon Roadster when you can get basically the identical looking and driving car for less than 30 grand? It's worth watching the above all the way through, because Mike and Dave seem like a couple of genuine petrolheads and everything about their factory, knowledge and finished product smacks of genius. Enjoy! Usual apologies if it's a repost etc.

Haha that's hilarious. It's a replica of a pile of dog turd, not of a Reventon Roadster. hehe

I also thought/hoped it must be some kind of spoof but apparently it is not. A little internet research seems to show the 2 guys in the video are not subversive comedy geniuses but are 'businessmen' with a somewhat less than stellar reputation. Allegedly.

Why would anyone use such a classic to make some dodgy replica?? They must be joking..

Which is a quite remarkable achievment considering...umm, I think it's actually a real one they are trying to pass of as a replica. There is a quality moment in this clip when the guy gets into the car takes a big sniff and says "mmm, real levver". These guys are so bizarre that you couldn't make this st up.
