£33K for Frankenstein's home-made monster? Not likely!

"This car is a one off ..."

There's a reason for that.

" .... and is known worldwide."

As an ugly mess.

Looks like a 1:1 scale RC car.

Is it just as fast as a wedge then

[mk1fan]

Not a bad price.

7k for the refurb'd TVR chassis and engine.

25k for a mk1 escort shell.

And.....its a plastic replica body, not even heritage steel

[Mogsmex]

cant see the issue here........ hardly a frankensteins monster !


still a standard chassis with a differant fibreglass body, hardly a cut n shut is it ?

[KKson]

I like it.

It is a marmite thing for sure, if you want a V8-powered retro-looking ford (kit car), providing the DVLA do see it as cotia then all is good (MOT check states Tasmin? Tax check states TVR?).
I also quite like it... However it is an "if" he sells it, how does that make that money and make sense, yet the original car it is based on is less than a third of that value?
My original fun reason for posting.

B faster than a Tasmin as its lighter.
The next one will b even more of a game changer

Interesting when I looked back at the page, my old +2 came up on the other items. Good to see it's still around if not on the road.

Fibreglass escort shell is 3.5k and I beleive DVLA see it as a rebody on standard chassis so legit

No really upon this, but reading here it will need to be registered in some way, as a radically altered vehicle or one of the other types. It's not as easy as used to be
