There's something cool about NACA ducts but they are normally found on 70's formula one cars or super cars like below, are there any more reasonably priced ways to have a car with them sat on the drive? Without resorting to a saw and some fiberglass of course.

Mine too. So the cheapest so far would be about £7k.

Ah I should have said visible without rolling it. At 7k I assume that's the mk1? I never realized they had any aero underneath.

Not quite as cheap as an Elise, but at least you can see the NACA duct without the use of a ramp smile


Must be something older for less than the GTR, just can't think of anything atm. Maybe a ropey Lambo Espada?

R34 Skyline GTRs had a small Naca duct above the turbochargers didn't they?

Various Mitsubishi Evolutions had them in a similar position too.

Over twice the price they were three years ago. I looked at a beautiful original car in two tone green with perfect green tartan and brown dash for £1,300.

Prices of classic Porsche's seem to have gone bananas lately. Search for a 993 Turbo - they are all around £100k!!
