some ferrari replicas look quite good, this is not one of them.

I wonder if it would be possible to make a 406 coupé replica out of a Ferrari...

I wonder if we've just stumbled across a new use for Dai's Estate..........

A Porsche Panana replica?



Where's me hacksaw?

I've seen that one before, I still love how they've not made any effort with the dashboard, which is still extremely 406-ey!

Did anyone read the description fully?

The body is plain white GRP with a Carbon Fibre 'wrap' which has a 'few creases' in it

And the side windows are fixed, and plastic but the seller's hoping someone 'mechanically skilled' can make the windows go up-and-down quite easily

I'd also imaging that insuring that thing would be interesting to say the least. Basically anything happens to that motor, anything from a car park scuffle to a motorway smash and it'll be written off instantly.......and if it is really worth £7K the insurers are basically taking a huge risk in even considering any cover. The seller has already hinted on this as it's still registered as a Coupe, so illegal to use as it is at the moment.

Place your bets..............

Just found out it's a 2.0 Petrol I bet it sounds awsome

I scanned the description and caught the stuff about not being able to open the windows etc. Should have left it how it was...Where d'you find out it was a 2.0? I'm sure I could source him a 1.6 or how about a non turbo 1.9d?

A quad-look exhaust system has been fitted to the car to give ity that authentic look and sounds amazing like the real deal when at the right revs.

At about 18,000 rpm. Boom.

I spotted this over on Barryboys by chance, who were less than complimentary about the car and one of them did a check on the reg to find the 2.0 bit. Sad really as it one of those no-go and no-show cars

I suppose I drive a replica daily myself, yes it looks like a Volvo but underneath it's a Ford Focdeo
