Kit 275GTB is on a distinguished road
Default Dripping with jealousy!

Oooohh that looks good! My own 275GTB project is coming on more slowly because there is only me and I can only work half a day. I am impressed by the verisimilitude, Chris and Dan, Yes, I agree it is not an accurate reproduction but it is a really excellent evocation of the shape. I don't know how you managed to get the engine lid looking like that, I have had to cut my one short by about 100mm to fit the shorter Z3 engine bay. I have also had to modify both the side "gills" and the boot opening to get the body to fit so there have been lots of compromises.
As the old joke says "If I were going there, I wouldn't start from here". I would now choose a different donor and to hell with VOSA requirement not to cut the upper body. It would be a lot more expensive though ...
See you at the National Kit Car Show.
