Stumbled across this on the interweb tonight! At first I thought it was a one off, but this bloke has plans to sell it as a kit car using mx5 donor!

it needs about 3" chopping out of the screen height..but really it needs chucking in a skip. If it takes off and becomes scuccesful you can just imagine the some of the comments said to genuine owners...... you thought Porsche drivers had some stick with the beetle...this will be even better smile

The guy must be into his fakes... hes got a replica pool and house extension...

Yes, I've seen that project before.

Won't comment on it.

Have I awoken in a parallel universe and it is 1st April.
That is hideous and if a genuine attempt at a Sagaris kit car I'll willingly catch VD just to get a burning sensation to keep warm !

I just don't get the mentality behind these things. I'd rather have the original mx5 than a fake Sag, even if it looked 100% genuine from the outside, which this isn't going to.
If I were gifted those `assets`, I'd sell the shells and mx5 and put it toward a Tam!

Btw, for the `fake` pool to be fake you'd have to lay bricks round the outside and tile the interior. Its no different to the mx5 before it was vandalized smile

I'd imagine he's thinking of making it look as close as he can get and then sell on conversion kits moulded from the finished car.

It's not going to effect the value of Sags and might make the guy a few bob in the process and he gets a car which he likes the look of.

There's things i don't like about it like the wheels etc and there are things to work out but as it goes i think he's achieved a pretty decent start.

Think of it more as a way to make an MX-5 look a bit better....vomit

From what I understand he's not making a replica. he is just using the shell as a start. Shame as someone could of built a nice replica from another tvr.

Hi Buz

Did you say it was a strap on extension?
