The daftest shite creations...

[Pieman]

If it didn't have so much plastic shite stuck all over it and they'd spent a bit more time on the interior, I would quite like it.

Not sure if this is a modded fish faced Triumph TR

I like crackling, but not when it's got hairs on it!

^^^^^ now that wouldn't pass the Construction and Use regs, the wheels are just proud of the wings. Not sure this would pass either -

Unless the inspector was Scottish.

Another one of those things created by someone who thinks they're a biker, but hasn't quite gone the for the complete life style.

Not a real split, but that rear window section looks legit

[MiniMinorMk3]

Ever since I can remember you've been able to get split rear window kits in fibre glass... 

and now you can get them in metal

[bunglebus]

Ah I knew about the 'glass ones but didn't know you could get a metal stamping - it wasn't uncommon in the 80s for people to chop the rear section out of a split, especially the many left in the woods in Sweden, and weld it into a later bug. Of course now those cars would be snapped up and restored, but we were young and stupid then...

My Beach Buggy was based on a 1954 chassis. I brought the Buggy as a resto project and sold it still as a resto project after a year of faffing about. It was an early GP SWB, so probably first put together in the early 1970s. I had it from 1982 to 1983.

I seem to recall Custom Car put together a baja using a '49 body...

Made by Michelin and used on some SM models.

Also they are not alloy, they are made of resin.

I remember seeing that in a book of concept cars when I was a kid - I've really wanted it ever since, it'd make an awesome luxury limo!

Carbon fibre rims, probably the first use of CF in a production car.

There are not made with carbon fibre. They were made using resin with fibre strands mixed in, not from sheets of carbon weave.

[somewhatfoolish]

The spiel you put in literally says they're made of CF? Why are you picking an argument with yourself?
