i've actually seen this at Houghton tower classic car show in early September.
it fitted very well, but the tunnel was massive and looked way too boxy. good idea though, just could have been finished better on the interior.

I think the lad joined and introduced himself here a while ago... IIRC he got an infraction early doors for quoting his web address in every reply, even when the rules were explained to him.

Very cool car, nice to see something different and something that hasn't been 'done to death' these days.
