A Dino inspired replica rebody on a Toyota MR2 Mk2 is back....

I always thought that the Mr2 chassis would have made for a nice looking Dino inspired kit..

Although their panel/light fittings need a bit of work before they go into production.

And grey is not a good colour

[seansverige]

It's better than some I've seen with huge wheelarch extensions etc, but somehow looks unfinished without brightwork - or maybe because it's in primer grey...

Now that I've noticed LH indicator in the main pic is mounted wonky I can't ignore it - should have taken the pic from the other side: that one looks flush.

ETA: tribbles was too quick for me - great minds.... (or speaking solely for myself of course) fools...

[tribbles]

Looking at it a bit further, and ignoring the prototype aspects, it doesn't seem too bad.

I had an RW Karma, which is about the worst replica Dino you can get - but I enjoyed it! It was my first car (and needed 3 years of rebuilding)...

Oh great another MR2 Ferrari clone.

I remember reading about lawyers from Ferrari going to see it and deciding it was nothing like the Dino so didn't take any legal action.

Doesn't surprise me (on both fronts). I did modify mine so the bonnet vents were in the right place, which improved it quite significantly.

this looks shocking

I'm actually rather liking that. Always liked the idea of the old Beta based DGT.

Shouldn't need IVA either!

J H Classics sold the original production moulds via Pistonheads i think it was in December last year a friend managed to find their facebook page. looks like they are developing new mechanicals for the car looks promising. Never really been a fan of body kits always loved the original J H Classics (Deon) cars though.

Have their facebook link here

Some new pictures of the car taken from their website and have to say that it does really look nice.

[Cactussed]

Have to say, I like this a lot...

[Jonty355]

Me too, just woshed they'd chosen a better colour for the demo car. Dont like the dark red on it. Should have been giallo fly or TDF blue.

[Mr Bojangles]

Saw the new DGT VII at stonleigh this year defo a nice looking car but compared to the original J H & Deon cars the proportions are horribly wrong esecially around the windscreen area. Have recently had a look how DeHavilland are getting on with their prototype on their facebook page they seem to have much more accurate lines to the car.


Pulled this photo from their facebook page really looking forward to see how their first car turns out. Really like the idea of an accurate single donor replica rather than yet another MR2 clone. A friend of mine had a extreme 355 body conversion on an MR2 great from a distance but up close you could really see the cars short commings. The interiors always seem to let the most body conversions down.
