Never seen one in the flesh but vaguely recall seeing photos many moons ago. Time has not been kind to the lines of the car . . . struggling to think of a polite comment.

When I was a kid in the 70s, I used to watch Speed Racer (GO! Speed racer, Go!) and he drove something remarkably similar looking, I think. I remember trying to build trolleys on this model with Masport motor-mower wheels,4-inch nails and old ironing boards and nail boxes. Anyway, I dont think it looks that bad, from the front anyway

I was thinking the same. This photo in particular just looks wrong www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Specialist-cars/Competition-cars/photos/a-72901913/p-28252209.htm I quite like that McLaren M6 GT at the Turners auction tho

This one is quite unfortunate

I think the camera is too wide-angled and distorting the cleft-lip

Puk bahh! It does live up to its name. Whats with the bubble rear window. The front end looks like you could feed it tree branches and it would split out the saw dust.!
