Yep, that's just ruined an exceedingly rare and potentially quite valuable car. I'd love a 52-54 P4 (definitely 'peak P4') but I can only recall seeing one other for sale in the last few years.

It seems 75% of custom projects never get beyond the stage of ruining the donor car. I suspect it's because most people who think they're viable have no concept of how much work it requires, much less the smarts to actually build something functional. See also, all the cars where an engine swap went as far as binning the original powerplant and then realising it doesn't fit and none of the original drivetrain is going to work with it.

I'd never seen it before so I assumed it had been liberated from a garage or something. At a brief glance, it looked squeaky straight and clean although the ebay listing suggests it's just starting to go around the edges. It looked pretty immaculate when it was spotted for sale a couple of years previous... Remspoor and MorrisItalSLX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
