I thought it looked like a slightly uglier Ginetta G32.

The Ginettas obviously had a better stylist. I like that G32

[quote=wil_h,10th Mar, 2010]Got this yesterday, paid £230. It does mean that the Green mini will have to go though.


Were you towing this on the M1 earlier in the week. If not, this is the second one I have seen in as many days!

Of course it'll have a turbo. The turbo gubbins from the Green mini will be removed before it's sold.

I have lots of ideas to make sure it looks good.

It turns out only 24 were ever made, who knows how many were finished. Kit cost when new was £1500!!!

These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

Only paint schemes or you pull out the fiber ?

Also, bucket lamp, not good for aerodynamic ! (and the look of the car) At least, do that !

I wish I could buy and use one of those kit cars you lucky english people got ...

Lol.

It's not THAT bad.

Why don't you experiment with random fibreglass front ends, you might be able to change the look completely. That front bumper is fugly.
