Especially the paint scheme:

Tally ho!

Bloody hell, that's smart.

But £25,000 !!

I can't wait for 'Clarkson and co' to get their hands on one of those, but I bet because its not a kit they'll think its fantastic and each buy one as their next car

And I cant wait for the Stig's lap time with 120BHP!!

What about one of these.

2cv but with a Guzzi engine. Could be my next project...... About 20k cheaper than the Morgan alternative.

And it was on Top Gear, but only on the "Cool Board", not a test drive

peterux · #5 27th February 2011, 21:28

Yes, and they couldn't agree if it was cool

GreatOldOne · #6 27th February 2011, 21:35

Of course it was cool. Captain Slow should have arbitrated with a chainsaw, and then put it on the cool side.

Off topic - I really didn't like the XJ when it came out, but I'm starting to warm to it... That engine note is just peachy.

How about that WWII colour scheme for Vicky?

I love that paint scheme, I am even tempted to copy it on my own trike.

Given the engine, I think it would need Iron Crosses on the side rather RAF roundrels... How about bright red? I already have a flying helmet and a silk scarf.

Very nice, but how do you get it through IVA with those exposed bolt heads and steering column?
