What about a modification that keeps a bit of the BMW DNA?



Designed by BMW to fulfil the wish of a 4 year old apparently

What if you made it more retro. Maybe bit American pick up . Bit of Chevrolet. Or hot rod eg bit of bulge on the bonnet and curvy wings. Instead of bull bars an aggressive chrome bumper and matching wide lower grill.

Why on earth would you want to change an Aurelia?

Because I feel in a wicked mood, I would say because people out driving would not want to be mistaken for Noddy!

But being honest. I quite like the look of the Ferrari 250 gte 2+2. Their are other variations of 2+2 but for me the 250 gte has a certain appeal. Mix of 50's and 60's styling. And a swb style nose shape.

Just scrolling through the thread and MrsWCA saw the DS / 911 mash up and said whe liked it. Preferred this bit of photoshopping.

Chris - Is it do-able and is it something you would be interested in doing?

I am sure I can find an old 911 kicking around somewhere and I know where there are a couple of DS in a barn...

Tricky to pick the Porsche donor though. The classic ones are too expensive to cut and the moderns don't quite look right.

I will ponder further

What donor would you start from. Porsche,Citroën,beetle chassis. Or front engine rear drive bm. Maybe a lowered beetle with wings boot and bonnet removed.
