Shooting brake-esque Coupé?

[OlberJ]

Looking for some inspiration here folks. On the hunt for a coupé style car for a project.

It will have a V8 in the front and be RWD (will convert if we have to), bodyshape of T350/MGBGT and be at least slightly sporty looking.

Any suggestions?

So far i've got :

Reliant Scimitar
MGB GT
T350
Z3M Coupé

the other option is to take a convertible and build a hard top/hatchback for it.

Am i missing anything obvious? (Other than a brain cell or two)

Sounds like a cracking project, how about a Jag XK?

I'm looking for something with a bit more room in the back. Dog friendly as it were

Cerbera/Chimera? Decent chassis and engine (?!!) to beign with and plenty of room to expand in certain areas!

This is amazing although if I was doing a project I'd want something unique.

or XJS?

I'd second the 944 and Scimitar ideas. Both have been converted to V8s fairly often, and although the 944 is a fastback it's a very practical starting point.

Not many 3-door estates about...

Classic 900 is vaguely coupe like...not sure about the sporty. V8 and RWD would be nice. Massive engine bay.

Using a convertable sounds like a good idea! V8 engined MX-5 GT would be fun!

[roverspeed]

MX5 with a fast back.

And either a Ford 5 Litre V8

or

LSx GM engine.

Not sure I follow. Are you saying you'd buy a Z3M and convert it to a V8??

It's more like a Polo with a Porsche nose



Awesome though!

something griffith based could be fun

Possibly, but i'm thinking more that style of car for suggestions. That would be fairly expensive.

Mx5 fastback is definitely on my list.
