What ever it is, it's not a Maestro as it's about 10 years too old and RWD

Well according to the father of the lad who built it, it is. And it's running a Rover V8 with RWD.

Perhaps he's getting it mixed up with the Marina?

Plate is older than van ,registered 1989,3500 cc engine,colour grey,probably ex BT.

The Maestro btw.

Skoda Testarossa anyone?

If you look carefully you can see it's not a Ferrari......

defo maestro, the door surround/roof bit and the rear handle and lock

rear axle is a jag IRS, common enough hot rod combo with the rover v8

Skodarari has been seen before,you can't take it seriously.

I think it's Superb.....

at that BMW. I'm not surprised it's been in a garage 15 years. They couldn't get the fuel pump in after they fitted the rear arches (term used loosely)

Edit - probably why the roof is left still down - it's the only way of getting in as the outside handles are so far back in the door

A few pics copied over, if anyone isn't able to access the link.

I’m speechless, what on earth were they thinking of when conceiving that utter monstrosity.

Looks more like a 959

[lucido grigio]

If you dissect the Skoda it's a 911 flatfront,Testarossa side and 959 rear.

Struggled where to put this, dread to think of the weight loading and stress on the poor beetle! But like the idea very novel!



Beetle fifth wheel trailer! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpwH9WeVEfU

I have read that the actual load on the roof was not more than 50 Kg, the max. allowed for a roof carrier.

I thinky they were of french or dutch origin and could be towed by many type of cars.

The roll induced by driving physics would be interesting, I think, even when the trailer was balanced properly.

That's what I was thinking, it's almost like he did the back as a 959, then got to the sides and did a testerossa then mixed in a flat nosed 930 porker on the front.

That orange BMW is so bad it's absolutely brilliant. It's like how I used to look at early Cayennes and G wagons thinking they were fugly but now I kinda like the ugly vibe!

Indeed. Ruining a perfectly good Escort Cossie spoiler with a 3-series compact

I really like the way that looks from the rear

The very definition of "golden deceiver".

[ambuletz]

if you squint it kind of looks like the back of an escort cosworth.

[TobyLerone]

There's a new show (it might be on Dave or C4, I don't know, I wasn't paying much attention) about modifying cars for the stars.

It's bound to be cringey, and comedy gold.

Someone will know what it's called, as the channel it will be aired on.

[e30m3Mark]

There are a couple coming I think? One of them is a YouTuber who wraps cars in coloured cling film innit though bro and the other is Goblin Works Garage on Quest. Both look pretty poor to be honest with lots of ''on screen chemistry'' and ''humour''.
