That's a body conversion based on a BMW Z3. Nice little things unless you try and pass them off as a 250, as is the case here.

The Z3 is a "timeless classic"?

WTF is that?

Real ones are £8-12 million.
According to the ad, it’s an Omage.
8 speed box and 4WD??? :/
Based on a Kia Sorrento Sport? hehe

TBH if they removed the Ferrari badging, painted it in a single colour and took the roof off it'd be a nice little convertible sports car, almost AC Ace-like. But as a Ferrari no, no, no.

It's a Y32 Nissan Cedric Gran Turismo with an IMC body kit on it.
Top JDM points to you, although judging by your username you are very familiar with these kind of cars!!!!! I was wondering how long it would take before you gave in an told people it is a "relatively" standard car and that bodykit is almost popular in Japan. There is a white one in the UK as well that I've seen at a few Jap shows.

Regarding the Mad Max style Corrado, I admit as a MASSIVE Corrado fan I was very torn when I first saw it at a track day at Castle Combe. I wanted to hate it and call it a waste of a good shell but on closer inspection the standard of the work is good but completely pointless It does have a PD TDI engine conversion (horrible in my opinion) & some swanky wheels which I do like.

It's done to a high standard but I just wonder why?


I fail to see anything wrong here?
I drive past this every day. It's nice, well looked after and can't see anything wrong with it imho.
Can't work out what it is!
I want to say 8th gen Nissan Cedric? But with a Jag front end. It's well done, but looks awful. Got to be up there on the "why the fk bother" stakes.
It has a window sticker on the back saying "No m8, it's a Nissan Gloria"

I really like that!!

If it were mine, however, I'd probably get bored of the rat-look pretty quickly, and get it painted wink

Right thread. Those body mods are a triumph of aerodynamic ignorance.
