Was just thinking how awesome and accurate it looked although was also thinking "how can it be road legal with open wheels"

Then saw the 2nd image.

Crikey!

Not quite sure what is going on with the D reg plate either that they say makes it suitable for export, as its down as registered in 2012. I guess its case its a single vehicle donor, although not sure why that doesnt show on first registration?


The vehicle details for D841 YNO are:
Date of Liability 01 04 2014
Date of First Registration 01 03 2012
Year of Manufacture 2012
Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1352cc
CO₂ Emissions 0 g/km
Fuel Type PETROL
Export Marker N
Vehicle Status Licence Not Due
Vehicle Colour MULTI-COLOUR
Vehicle Type Approval Not Available
Vehicle Excise Duty rate for vehicle
6 Months Rate Ł77.00
12 Months Rate Ł140.00

PS, its one of these:

Some look slightly better on their site, but still far from realistic TBH

Think this is the most flattering pic I can find of one:


Chassis itself looks good though I reckon:


Seems to be well engineered so probably drives ok, just looks gash!

Age related plate where enough parts came from one donor vehicle.

Thats the thing i dont get about half these one off kit car creations. They do a decent job of an engineered chassis etc then let some fucking monkey do the bodywork in a rush!!!

They could have so easily tweaked things to get the right profile for 80s F1 car. Aiming for 2 seater didnt help with the silly body cover they made for it.

Calling it a ferrari replica was just stupid. Even ferrari replica owners that this kind of car might appeal to would be after the detail and accuracy, something this project never aimed for in the first place!!

They would have been better off not claiming its a replica and just aiming to mimick the profile of the F1 cars of the era.

Everyone knows the cycle wing and silencer would be going in the bin post IVA test and that full aero wings would be fitted for the looks.

To be fair to the company their website says its very much NOT a specific copy of any particular F1 car, and just a car that looks generally a bit like one, its just the numpty linked to in the OP cause he has put some stickers on he now thinks his car is an exact replica of one
