Has anyone made estate version of mx5?

[vrooom]

Has anyone done it?

Bit like BMW Z3 coupe, ferrari breadvan, etc. I alway wondered what it does look like.

post it if you have any pic. maybe photoshop :P

There was a factory coupe and an aftermarket hardtop with a 'hatchback' design but thats all I've seen.

If it would look like the BMW Breadvan then I'd suggest that there aren't any, as people have learnt from their mistakes.

I quite like the Z3 coupe for its strange unusualness. Not exactly a "new form of beauty" but it has interest value by the shed-load. In a world where so many cars are appearing to be featureless "white goods" items I think that counts for something.

There is Shadowchaser who has turned his Mk1 into a fastback which looks pretty good. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea and many will say it's terrible to turn an MX5 into a coupe but he's done all the work himself and the quality is outstanding.

Shame he couldn't leave half the crap off it.

[vrooom]

oh my god. Bit like mr2 i see around here, he bolted on many craps from pound shop into that car.

but the fastback does look good. Maybe I should buy hardtop and leave it at that

^^^ looks like a modded hard top - does it have rear seats?

I wouldn't have thought so.

[skinny]

umm it's a 2-seater... you could only put in rear seats if you removed the fuel tank

The complete opposite of someone making an estate out of an MX5 would be the owner of this Range Rover that I saw parked on Rhosneigr beach yesterday:

I quite like the overal concept there, but in my opinion the result is tainted somewhat by the various tacky details.

"Estate version"?

If you want a coupe, buy a coupe, not a convertible!

LOL.



Even if that were not a bad photoshop and was in fact a real car, it would IMHO be described as a coupe. For my money an 'Estate' car has a large rear door and big load space, which a 5 is of course never gonna have...

Yes, it's a photoshop, but the OP wanted to know what a 5 with a M coupe rear end would look like.
