What would you like Chris to build you?

Nick, look at the floor level of the RR vs the one on the Nissan, not much in it.

I prefer the period original over this:

Can you build the woman if I give you a fat, old, ugly one (not Mrs Y Cymro (Y Gymraes) I hasten to add, in case she reads this and takes the knife to my knackers again)

Well this is what I would like, similar wheelbase to the Z3 as well:icon_wink:

Haven't quite figured the picture upload yet

Although I love the cars from the 1950/60s era I think that a bit of diversity would be a good thing and if I could get a finished product that looks half as good as the Alfa at a reasonable price then I would certainly have one!

Although one of these would also be very high on my list!

Don't take this the wrong way but the Hyundai coupe 3litre v6 window line is quite nice . Needs some curves to give it some character. 2003 shape. I know its not rear wheel drive but still a donor to start from. Plus it would drive a bit easier during the winter and all year round. Or z4 quite good lines. Think they did a cc version as well.

Where's the Hyundai?

Swb targa

As Chris and Dan are intent on building every version of every pre-64 Italian super car, I'd quite like a targa roof on my SWB.
Presumably the Z3 front hood locks could be used with a bit of re-design to the roll bar mounts ? No idea about fastening the rear of the roof - perhaps something from an MR2?

I have an available roof section on my 'broken' mk2 MR2.....



The above is what happens when you can't decide between the front or back boot space on the MR2, so you put the spare wheel in the middle!!

Vandalism or the result of a drift idiot trying to drive home on other people's space-savers (illegally btw) and the wheels coming off?

I like that. Looking at it, it's based on a TVR Sagaris or T350

Chris and Dan can build those for you with their eyes shut. Why not call them?

What about a 300sl roadster

I wonder what a Maserati a6g/54 would look like with a 250 swb front end from the a pillar onwards. The grill that's slightly angular . From the side the bonnet shape looks similar

What about something that is a mix of 2 or 3 tribute kits blended together ?

For example: A Kobra front with 250GTO headlamps and vents (Kobrarri).




The rear could be a modified Z300S (with a Lyonhart K style rear diffuser) and LED rear lights for example.





You could end up with many different mixes and have dozens of different models.
