Funny car, or funny eyes?

Was driving around the Cotswolds yesterday and on the M40 heading in the other direction I saw a mauve Tuscan go past but in the mirrors it looked like a Chimp!!!!!

Not sure if I saw correctly of whether I was just addled from the night before.

There was postings on here a couple of months back of a Chimaera with a Tuscan front end so you probably weren't as drunk the night before as you thought
Glyn.

Yeah, it's been listed on eBay for ages (not sure if it still is). Can't imagine why nobody has bought it!?

there are two of them. One is better than the other (in terms of quality).

[Horse_Apple]

Thanks for that.

Can't imagine it working really. It's a clash of two styles. One is retro and the other on the futuristic side. They must look very strange.

Like a cut and shut between an Allegro back end and a Princess front?

That thought has put me off my dinner.

On reflection, maybe I was gratuitously offensive back there. Apologies

[forthright MC]

Oh my god - there are two ? one was bad enough .. I mean...Why ? Thats all I could say when I saw it. Looks awful. Bet that one on ebay never sold ....

[Horse_Apple]

That's almost certainly what I saw. Must have been somewhere around the Oxford exit of the M40.

Doesn't look so bad to me and certainly much better than that Griff that had a similar treatment.

I guess the lesson is Chimaera - room for improvement, Griffith - perfection
