Having a misses , 2 kids and a dog I would like to have something a bit special to drive daily
Needs to have back seats and a boot
I was thinking of using an Alfa Romeo gt
Cheap doner, and rake of the windscreen looks good
Maybe a completely unique design not a replica of anything.but I was liking the Ferrari ff
But Iam no good at photoshop etc
Can anyone come up with any designs ?
This has potential to be made if the design works and do you think the market needs a design like this ?
That's a good point.
I have been building kit cars since the 1980's. In that time there has been some good 4 seaters on offer but none were successful.
I think that BMW would give a slightly better shape at the front than the alfa maybe - due to the front wheels being slightly further forward compared to the windscreen
Ive always thought that the Mazda RX8 would be a good base for this kind of conversion. Its a bit of an ugly duckling but fantastic to drive and they can be picked up very cheaply these days.
However from your first concept and from the classic market trends and don't laugh I'd be looking for a good classic.
Resto mod it, but keep all the original parts and don't do a mod you cannot unbolt.
Three examples from the sublime to the ridiculous.
