What would you like Chris to build you? - Page 17

Chris has an e type body
That's not too difficult to mod to look like the update.

I do love the retro curves on a modern theme

The Lyonheart K, previously known as the Growler E type is one of my favourite cars. I am sure you could create something similar mixing together several of Tributes kits. (A352, Z3000S, GTO)

Have any of these actually been delivered yet? All the websites reporting them are full of "will be" and "going to"...
And we are now well past the first advertised delivery date...
Vapourware?

Are you having something built on a Z4? An existing Tribute model or something new?

I don´t think any have been delivered and this project has been around for many years.

Just an idea, how about a Lyonheart K Style kit for the Z3 ?

y cymro · #**326** 17th July 2015, 09:02

Anthony Cherry's already done it with his Bertini

With some changes to the front it could look like you want.

y cymro · #**327** 17th July 2015, 09:05

Could someone with photochopping skills please add the slender front and wheels from DSG4MEs car to the Bertini doors and rear end?

You are quite right. Although the Bertini rear reminds me more of a modified Z8 the Lyonheart is closer to the E type. I like both of them.

Yes, you're right too

, and I agree that the Lyonheart is a much more accomplished design, helped no end of course due to not having the constraints of a z3 as a basis. Regarding Anthony's Bertini I think it's an excellent design from the the back but seriously let down at the front by the excessive humps over the wheel arches (considerably higher than the damn strut towers) and the totally inappropriate headlamps designed for the pretty little FIAT500 which IMHO makes the car an unhappy balance of an angular sports car rear and a curvy front end. If it had a more aggressive front with headlights from perhaps the new Jaguar F Type or new MX5 I'd have bought one by now. Perhaps Chris can design a new front for it

Try adding the z300s front end to the bertini rear

Its sort of an existing model and also something new and a mix with what i drive now. If that doesnt confuse you then i dont know what will. Stay tuned for 'dannys build thread 3'. The thing i can tell you is that it starts with a Z4 and ends in something awsome....

It would have to be the hard top coupe , it just looks right and the proportions would be more than ok on a Z3 or 4

zagmad · #**333** 19th July 2015, 15:30

Quite like the Alfa Romeo gt junior bertone. The one with the four lights at the front and smaller lights at the back. I was trying to find what an Italian muscle car would look like. Usually with grill parallel with the headlights . No v8 power but its got nice proportions.

One day, maybe.

zagmad · #**336** 19th July 2015, 19:11

Italian muscle car. Mmm 1970-77 Alfa Montreal. V8 injection . Quite strong chiselled lines. Bonnet scoop . Behind door vents. Horizontal tailights. Could work on mx5 mk1 and z3

The father of a friend of ours has one in long term storage up on blocks in his garage in Devon. It's a lovely looking thing and worth a packet too.

zagmad · #**338** 19th July 2015, 20:35

Could work with the windscreen height of the donors as the proportions have quite a low door height . And could make a wide arch version on the z3 bit like the racing version of the alfetta

And you haven't slapped a mould off it yet? You are slacking!

zagmad · #**340** 21st July 2015, 14:47

Could get dimensions off it and angles to build something like it just by using a tape. Width length of bonnet. Ways without molding.
