Panel conversions / body swaps etc...

[Rickbrown74]

Now I know there are different camps in here and some love supercars for their performance and some for their looks. I would be in the looks camp. With all ability people have now to create body panels etc.. is it not reasonably feasible to create a look-a-like of a Lambo or TVR etc.. on top of a more 'ordinary' sportscar or at least nick some of the nice features off them to make an attractive bodyshell of some description.

I know there are Kits of Diablos etc.. but the building aspect is way too advanced and expensive for mere mortals like myself.

So far all we have is the Veranti and 355's on the MR2. nothing else of decent quality recently that I know of.

There is the new Hummer replica which bolts on to a Range Rover chassis

Well Banham do an RS200 body to fit the Austin Maestro...

I presonally dont mind what engine is under the bonnet as long as it pulls half decently. I would just like to have more NICE looking body conversions to choose from. Nicer looking practical kits even. Not dated looking Quantums or wacky looking space buggies.
