I'm sure it's well nailed together but there's too much going on there. Vulgalour could fill a thread telling us the styling cues used on that car, even an amateur like me can see two or three straight off.

Much of it is inspired by Toyota's own heritage, there's a lot of Toyopet in it which itself was taking a lot of styling queues from American and European cars of the 1950s.  Pretty interesting find.

EDIT: somehow managed to miss all the replies of everyone saying exactly the same thing there.

Needs a little care, but £595 classified is a bloody good price.

Given that an antique dealer infamously bought a non-runner at auction for £500......

First time I've heard of an Avante kit car before, VW Beetle based:

Seems to share some styling cues, maybe even parts (windscreen?) with the Beetle based Nova kit car. Wonder if the same people were involved?

'Great investment'

 

£2,250.

 

About as good an 'investment' as a fucking magnet find  Halford's 'Apollo' mountain bike that's been at the bottom of the Manchester Ship[ Canal for the last 23 years.

'This was caused by it trying to run away down a slope while on a jack'

 

 

Kudos for trying again to finish the fucking thing off

The fuck are those back lights off, an early-ish Passat?

What a shed. Why fuck about with a great car like that? Much as I love well done custom cars that is far from well done in any sense of the word.

They didn't state how long this 'lock down' was, by the looks of it probably about twenty five fucking minutes on Monday morning which was enough time to glue some cracked old fence panels together.

 

.'...only to learn that she may need a new EGR valve which we just can't afford.'

 

Did they actually have an EGR on these in 1993?
