Anyone fancy a Ferrari engined MR2, going cheap.......
 

Just found this on Ebay, does he really think he could get £3k plus for this sh!t heap? Engine doesn't look like its run for a few years and probably will never go again.

This one's more realistically priced but absolutely hideous!

hmm optimistic i think

tilly

The first one`s real value would not be realised till you got to the weighbridge:rolleyes:
The other one might if ever completed infringe some sort of copyright with trumpton or the crowd that filmed who killed roger rabbit:D

1st one is a complete joke, its got a knackered old ferrari engine in it in bits, so he thinks its worth 3 grand. The other shocking thing is that the chassis has been cut to bits as well. :eek:

MR2 with Ferrari engine:eek: Why not an MR2 with a Ferrari body....

And here is the result of a MR2 "Ferrari" built by a local chap in my part of the woods. The complete conversion can be seen here; http://www.mr2club.co.za/phpBB2/view...c 5084b119bdd

But at the end of the day you are still a wannabe Ferrari owner riding a Toyota:rolleyes:

Why do folk bother with rubbish like that, it's a waste of time effort and money as will never be any good and you would need to be some kind of knob to want to drive a pretend Ferrari..:D

When it comes to bodywork look alikes I'm not sure it's ideal for us to criticise people for wanting a replica so long as it's reasonably well put together. At the end of the day it's about using ingenuity and hard work as a replacement for wads of cash - something that makes sense to most of us on here. I'd go one further and suggest these guys are closer to being true fans than the uber wealthy who can shell out for a manufactured original then treat it without care or respect.

There are dozens of cobra`s, c type jags, gt40`s and the list goes on and on. Most of these replica/kit cars are probably better than the originals from an engineering point of view. Some of the body kits like the stuff from yesteryear were shite, things like the dino body that dropped on a vw and the capri thing that looked like a aston the mrs washed. If its done properly and stuck on to something that moves its arse along who are we to knock it?

Got my vote on that...:cool:

If Im not mistaken, all of us building a seven clone are guilty as hell in this regard and are also copying a car we really would love to have.:D
