Why would anyone spunk a million quid on a Reventon Roadster when you can get basically the identical looking and driving car for less than 30 grand? It's worth watching the above all the way through, because Mike and Dave seem like a couple of genuine petrolheads and everything about their factory, knowledge and finished product smacks of genius. Enjoy! Usual apologies if it's a repost etc.

Haha that's hilarious. It's a replica of a pile of dog turd, not of a Reventon Roadster.

think i'll save up instead you know :/

I also thought/hoped it must be some kind of spoof but apparently it is not. A little internet research seems to show the 2 guys in the video are not subversive comedy geniuses but are 'businessmen' with a somewhat less than stellar reputation. Allegedly.

Anyone got a side by side comparison?

[jas xjr]

i am sure there was a thread about these chaps before.think there was some doubt as to whether the cars actually existed

[Justman]

You'd never tell the difference!

Is this some kind of joke?

"The finish is absolutely smashing!" lol

Heheh, that has to be a spoof.

"Yeah, that's right Dave... Let's take this beauty for a spin!"

three abreast on an mr2 chassis is going to get quite intimate

[Rocksteadyeddie]

Or a Veyron?

More, or less, indistinguishable from the real thing

Sr’s recommended donor cars are the 400 GT 1976 Ferrari with its standard V12 engine 4.8L and 340 horse power or 512i BB year 1976 Ferrari with its standard boxer engine 12 cylinders 5L or 512 BB years 1976,77,78,79,80 to 1981Ferrari with its standard V12 engine 5L or 412 year 1985 Ferrari with its standard V12 340 horse power engine.

Why would anyone use such a classic to make some dodgy replica?? They must be joking..

[zahal]

Or a California

Which is a quite remarkable achievment considering...umm, I think it's actually a real one they are trying to pass of as a replica. There is a quality moment in this clip when the guy gets into the car takes a big sniff and says "mmm, real levver". These guys are so bizarre that you couldn't make this st up.
