Now that's what I call a boat-shaped car. Aquada must have stolen the design. LOL. I'm glad the production C3 got aerodynamic honing.

The all glass roof is real nice. Sidepipes are yummie. Paint scheme fits. I want one.

Put it this way, I haven't found one in Exchange & Mart and if Malc hasn't found one on ebay, I guess very few were made (none actually). Sorry to be the bearer of bad news ..............

Beautiful isn't it!

The Car had it's Bubble top removed later on, it looks more like standard C2 now (still has no headlights and those wacky sidepipes though). It is still doing the show circuit in the states and has only been to Europe once, it was in the 50 years of Corvette concours event at Goodwood Festival of Speed last year, have some piccies of it there somewhere, will post one here when I get round to it... I didn't know it was going to be there so got a bit of a shock when I saw it as I thought it had been destroyed years ago or at least would be locked up in Bowling Green somewhere!

It's the pre-C2 'mako-shark', there was also the pre-C3 'mako-shark II' that one had a slatted back screen a bit like James Bond's underwater Esprit

Now what were Ford saying about inventing edge styling...

That's a mean mother.

Have a look at the Formatting Codes window underneath the Smiles legend when you're composing. You don't need to put the " marks in there.
