Can't tell if this is before or after the photo above. Converted Mini Clubman?

From memory I think this is the later incarnation.

This genuinely is a Tesco Value version of the Merc.

Looks like they really want one of these


I've seen one of these locally, black with yellow bits.

full marks for the quality of the parts etc, but ffs why an MGA as a base for a model T style hot rod?

I think that looks awesome, but wouldn't those rear wheels make it illegal to drive on the road?

Gah! I didn't think you could make a PT Cruiser look worse, but this guy has been shopping with the owner of the Merc SL on the previous page.

Rear wheel spats???

Seconded. Why follow the crowd, that looks cool as ice.

A picture of the inside... ow my eyes.

How did the driver obtain such an even distribution of spunk stains through the cabin?

The PT Cruiser seems have a strong following of folks who seem to like making them look even worse than the original

Indeed, let's take a mock-Rod and make it even more mockable

They used to turn up en masse at rod runs with their tacky ‘hot-rodded’ PTs and were basically ignored by the traditional rodders and customisers

Unfortunately I see this pile of crap on a regular basis, I've watched it deteriorate over about 18months, it's driven by a Polish bloke!!!

Have we had this G Wagon yet?

They still do.

That radiator surround/grill thing has no place on an MGA, or indeed anything styled after about 1928

It's just a crazy mix of styles, stick an early Ford roadster or coupe body on it and it would be great

[LOW4LYFE]

That mg “hot rod” is shocking. It’s like putting fender flares and Work wheels on your mommas Daihatsu.

Not got the idea at all.

Does this qualify? Estimate £21 to £24k!
