I know its not rear wheel drive but still a donor to start from. Plus it would drive a bit easier during the winter and all year round. Or z4 quite good lines. Think they did a cc version as well.

Where's the Hyundai?

I reckon he'll have a mould off of it by the weekend!

Swb targa
 
As Chris and Dan are intent on building every version of every pre-64 Italian super car, I'd quite like a targa roof on my SWB.
Presumably the Z3 front hood locks could be used with a bit of re-design to the roll bar mounts ? No idea about fastening the rear of the roof - perhaps something from an MR2?

I have an available roof section on my 'broken' mk2 MR2.....

The above is what happens when you can't decide between the front or back boot space on the MR2, so you put the spare wheel in the middle!!

Mister Towed 27th June 2015 06:15

Vandalism or the result of a drift idiot trying to drive home on other people's space-savers (illegally btw) and the wheels coming off?

Thers a build thread in the non tribute section where this has just been done...

I like that. Looking at it, it's based on a TVR Sagaris or T350

Chris and Dan can build those for you with their eyes shut. Why not call them?

What about a 300sl roadster

WorldClassAccident 8th July 2015 21:28

A Benttley?

Deliberately misspelt

zagmad 9th July 2015 07:07

I wonder what a Maserati a6g/54 would look like with a 250 swb front end from the a pillar onwards. The grill that's slightly angular . From the side the bonnet shape looks similar

Roadster 9th July 2015 07:22

Ferrari 612 gto - lots of the lines mimic the 250 gto Celica headlamps z3/z4 base car

What about something that is a mix of 2 or 3 tribute kits blended together ?

For example: A Kobra front with 250GTO headlamps and vents (Kobrarri).

http://oi62.tinypic.com/28irn8y.jpg


The rear could be a modified Z300S (with a Lyonhart K style rear diffuser) and LED rear lights for example.


http://oi57.tinypic.com/2n8vg3o.jpg


You could end up with many different mixes and have dozens of different models.

zagmad 10th July 2015 14:58

How would a 250 swb with a cobra front from the a pillar forward . Using the roofline and screen from the swb.Maserati a6g53 ish.

I like it - the rear end could use smart car rear lamps

thank you
 
Im envious of your skills

Thank you - I had the idea in my head but you have convinced me im going the right way with this.

Danny_HUFC 12th July 2015 07:11

By that photoshop it looks like your going the right way with it. I think it should look well.

zagmad 12th July 2015 11:53

The fluted front does look nice with lights flowing into it. Almost e type

zagmad 12th July 2015 11:56

The raise over the rear wings give it some nice hips too

I keep looking at this version of the z300 rear I have even found an easy way way to do it
Grr I need to choose a design and stick with it

Very Andy 13th July 2015 08:54

How about mating the SWB and the Zagato front end, painting it the right colour and some nice jag wires?

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a3...za/zagatto.jpg

DSG4ME 13th July 2015 09:11

Very nice, looking more like an Evanta GT or Zagato Aston.

Roadster 13th July 2015 13:02

I did speak to Chris about doing just that.

But the door panels and door handles mean that its not as quick a job.

I do not have anywhere to build - but I can bolt the front and rear on in my car park

This would be a rather nice car to have built, saw it down at Goodwood a couple of years back. It's an MPH Jaguar

Nice. Love the grey paint with red leather.

Roadster 15th July 2015 20:31

Ive been looking at lots of updated cobra models

I like this sketch it would fit the z3's proportions

http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/...psedvlxrgm.jpg

Danny_HUFC 15th July 2015 21:10

Are you sure thats not a sketch of a new mini cooper s soft top?

Roadster 15th July 2015 21:41

it has mini grille shape but its proportions are different
maybe a mini that's had 8" sectioned out of the body


The shape is purposeful like the cobras
and read back through this thread we have discussed citreons merging with 911 so im sure we can all see past the mini similarity

Lucky@LeMans 15th July 2015 22:27

What are the next generation of donor cars likely to be . I'm sure the BMW Z4 is on the cards There must be others coming up to 10 years old or so and affordable with bolt on / off panels.
