How about this.

What other cars from the Ferrari family look awesome. Anyone like the gte

212 Vignale Spyder Export looks very slick and should be possible on an MX5, Z3 or maybe even an old Triumph chassis...

Like the clean lines of the dash. Also the sunk in tailights flush with the bodywork

I like the coupe more personally

A couple of months back there was a replica Batmobile parked in pub car park with it's bonnet up with steam billowing out. Couldn't stop myself, I had to stop and ask the guy why he didn't have any rad weld in his utility belt.
Miserable git told me to f*ck off

A common problem it would seem:



Probably used the engine out a Rover!

Holy head gasket Batman!

Hey Towed! That could've been you if you'd stayed with the ally rad!!

That is about the prettiest Ferrari I have ever seen. Would need a centre-stiffened tonneau for this country though. What are the chances?

Any thoughts on the Maserati a6g in black. I was thinking as a combo mix of two cars which would i have and its come to this- front end would be Ferrari 250 GTE with lights in the grill. Back end would be a Maserati a6g with the curvy rear raised wings. Id post some pics but my mobie wont let me

Hey Zag
I'll need those pictures to know what you mean :-)

I'm very interested in the 250 swb but having just bought a Z3 and found my wife really likes it, I'd love to see a Kobra/ 250 mix.

Rear Kobra body kit with the 250 rear/roof blended in but keeping the Z3 windows and doors.

Front Kobra kit with the 250 face/grille/light set up.

Mixing the 250 style with muscle type arches would give the opportunity for old or modern style build.

I don't need a 'replica' of anything, I like 'in the style of' cars so this would be a more simple and practical solution, keeping the electric windows and central locking for easier year round use.

Just my opinion, but I have the base car so I'd buy one straight away.

Hi Bob

We would be happy to combine the 250SWB and kobra kits together for you, we will have room in the workshop by next September. If you would like a quote please give me a call on 07901 544241.

Maybe something "similar" to this ???

That's the idea but keeping the Z3 side window line so they work as original, and doing away with the front spoiler for a more 250, less Kobra appearance.

Brilliant work though, I can't do photoshop and although I have loads of ideas it gets difficult to visualise them.

Thanks, Bob.

All this talk of mini based GTs reminded me of a silly wee project I looked at a year or two back.

I was working on the Okrasa special at the time, and admiring the Karman Ghia roof, and wondering what I could use one on. An hour or so on the photocopier and the prit stick produced this....



I cunningly combined a standard Mk1 Mini front, a Riley Elf (my first car was an Elf) body and the roof of the Karmann Ghia (which needs to be slightly narrowed to fit the Elf body, causing a few issues with the glazing!). This drawing is to 1/10 scale.

I think it would look good in Aston sage green metalic with old english white door circles and a massive alloy filler cap.

No? Just me then..... :0)

Oh, and I saved the file as the 'Narrowspeed GT' , just to avoid obvious comparisons with the completely different Broadspeed GT, LOL

Not just you - I always fancied a Mini convertible, but based on the Elf/Hornet! I think I was inspired by a classic car article about 57 Heinz special edition Hornets - no really!!!

Who needs photoshop when you have a Fiat 850?

Very good WCA!!

Mums first car when we came back to the uk

...and still available, if you can afford one -

"Great fun and cheap to run" says the advert, certainly not cheap to buy though!!

Well found Towed.

Stroll on. We swapped ours for a lawn mower and a garden bench with chairs!
