I'm still not sure if I like it or not. It's a bit like an XK120 crossed with an Auto Union. It does look extremely well finished though, the paintwork is superb.

Wow! That looks stunningly well made, and has extremely arresting looks.... but like the OP I'm not sure I actually like it.

Also, I can't see that well from the pictures, but it looks like a single seater - in the pic with the bloke grinning away behind the wheel he looks pretty central. scratchchin

As form over function goes it's up there with the Disco Volante cars. But am I alone when I see a car that is obviously never used and shudder? It's a work of art, sure, but I prefer cars that actually get to roll now and then.

yeah, it does kind of look like it should be on a pedestal somewhere.

Car's should be driven and look like it.
One of the local JEC members brought a lovely looking XK120 to the bonnets up a couple of years ago. It looked like he'd spent hours cleaning and polishing it. He'd then obviously driven it "briskly" across country to the meeting. The front was a veritable killing field of squashed flies. Beautiful... and enjoyed.
