Hi all,new here.
so i`m not sure if this is the right place to ask,a pal suggested I ask here.

I spotted an almost finished matt black zakspeed capri replica complete with spaceframe, minus front wings and bonnet on a trailer today just before the dartford tunnel,heading northbound.black chrysler c300 estate tow car.
it looked completely brand new and had a fantastic looking ford 2ltr cosworth engine mounted at almost at 45 degrees with an enormous turbo fitted,would love to see it in action,get a nosey round it or just see some pictures.
does it belong to a member of pistonheads or does someone know where to find it?
I travel the country a lot feeding people so dont mind travelling.
.
thanks in advance. collin.

Those space frames and general engineering look amazing!

However I am far less impressed with the globs of filler under the arches.

sorry its none of those above,but I have had a bit of a result,through a friend of a friend of a friend sort of thing.
I found out that the owner of the car comes from near oxford and where the car is located they make specialised trucks/lorries.
It is supposed to be built using modern parts rather than an out and out replica,the space frame is better and lighter,modern damping and braking and quite a bit of carbon fibre,plus around 250 hp more than the original.
he mentioned that the gearbox cost 12 grand! christ.
so people of oxford come on there cant be too many black zakspeed capris or workshops that build these lorries in oxford,surely?

the capri in question is owned/being built by a pistonheads member,obviously a very secretive member,come on time enough to fess up.
