I believe 50k , the ad is on PistonHeads, check out the interior. Yours for 20 k

That seems to be at the fine line of not badly modified... Just modified without taste.

Exactly .... it's not badly modified as it all seems to fit with nothing hanging or dangerous off but it's horrible

Ah, the age old debate of this thread: does "badly modified" mean the execution, or the taste (on the basis that the owner has ended up with
a gopping vehicle).

Badly modified for me ‘cos it’s tasteless

I imagine those Allegros will have the torsional rigidity of a soggy bog roll tube.

Bloody dangerous enough when completely standard.

I know they were not particularly well built, but what makes you say they were dangerous? More dangerous than other cars from that era?

Years ago I picked up an Allegro 1500HL, 74 N reg and it had been ziebart rust proofed from new. In white with full length Webasto roof it really was totally rust free and ran well. I used it as a commuter and general runabout. Tbf, yes it was only a badly screwed together BL product but sold it for what I paid for it and it never let me down. There were plenty of other makes out there that were considerably worse at the time..

It's a paint/graphics job, not really modified other than that, and it's a Lada. But, I do sort of like it .

That sort of thing makes me smile, good sense of humour. I like it.

Good luck with this one... If you can't decide between a Camaro, Corvette or Mustang, get all three.

Unhinged brilliance.

Subtle. I wonder if the car was mis-badged?

I don't know, I got it from the Facebook group SEMA Fails.

Love those gauges in the passenger-side A-pillar.

Ferrari clearly ripped of this guy's idea with their passenger display option...

That looks like a Leepu special.

I present you the Aston Capri, which simultaneously manages to offend both Aston & Ford devotees, while being worth less than either:





Recently auctioned for £3,500 (https://www.swva.co.uk/classic-car/aston-martin-volante-replica-based-on-a-ford-capri-1972/), the text says that the owner bought it for over £8k and then restored it.

Again more of an issue of design than workmanship (although some of the panel fits look a bit dodgy) - clearly much effort, love and money has been lavish on this.

The panel for is awful. ESP the fuel filler / rear bumper area. Is the drivers door full of dents ?
