Wow, that looks absolutely fantastic, it looks like the sketch the designers make of the concept before the car gets 'productionised', or like a photoshop ... but it's real!

Awesome. Being picky, I think it needs a tad more height at the rear.

For me this is one of the best things to come out of 2022. Hat off to you, it looks superb, now you get to enjoy all the graft.

Followed this for so long it's fantastic to see it looking 'together'.

I don’t foresee that being an issue, looks very well put together. Prob a damn sight easier than blagging a GT40 through the test.

@Lexspace I think it looks bloody awesome and can’t wait to see it in the metal at some point. driving

When they retired the Space Shuttle I had no more want in the World.

Then you crafted this and behold, our path to the stars was reborn!

Trade plates cover lack of VED and nothing else. Still requires an MOT, insurance and to be correctly registered.

I think you need to organise a PH meet purely for this car so we can all come and see it cloud9
