Mate of mine had a Ferrari rep years ago based on a MK3 MR2. It looked OKISH to be fair but of course wore the Toyota mechanicals underneath. When another one of the lads was telling me a story about it he said it was insured for £60k.......

 

 

 

 

about twice the price of a genuine one at the time.

'John Childs' Kenari (sticker just like Mrs DW's Nippa)

 

My Laurel came via John Childs back in 2008, when it was apparently part-ex'd against a Perodua. I didn't buy it directly from them, but did ring and have a pleasant chat with him.

Curious lack of mention about the batteries considering it's an electric vehicle; strong likelihood of them being completely fucked too(this era probably Nicad cells).
