M1Stang; all metal kit
This will surprise most; a Japanese 1:1 replica using a Eunos Roadster
The interior still has a few MX-5 parts left
Upfront, a V8, in the wrong place for a Miura/
At the back, a fake V12
The same company makes a slightly awkward looking replica of the Toyota 2000GT
But they refined it a little
Love the Mustang and find it quite hard to believe it’s an MX-5.
Why oh why though did they feel the need to put a fake V12 in the Lambo!
They made a Lambo from an MX-5, the WHY Oh WHY has left the building a very long time ago.
Why not? Much cheaper than buying a Miura. I suppose then the entire kitcar market is pointless.
The MX-5 itself is a bit of a pretence. The original model was designed to look like a Lotus Elan. The exhaust was tuned to sound like a MGB. The engine was restyled to look Italian. We’re all living a fantasy by owning a MX-5.
What’s unique about the MX-5 is that no other car has inspired so much customisation. None. And I’d include those Ford-based Hot Rods in that opinion, considering all the different directions MX5s have gone in.
Obviously Ferrari inspired conversions are well known.
Hot rod MX-5
Aston Martin replica
Porsche Slant Nose
Porsche inspired
Old Alfa Romeo (with fake 8 cylinder exhaust manifold)
TVR Sagaris
Austin Healey, kind of
Corvette
Frog Eye Sprite
This Pitcrew is one of the more legendary Pitcrews out there
Hate to say, the the Aston & Frogeye just about get a nod from me…. Frogeye minus absurd alloys. But fair play to folk to do them…after all…many, I guess, may have had solid serviceable running gear but see- through bodies. Just a bit of fun…not harming anyone after all.
I’m not usually a fan of a Pitcrew but that one looks fab. Looks like an interesting setting in the first photo too.
I like ALL of those, in particular the Corvette and the Sprite. 
Fake v12 in the back… At long last, a solution to my weight distribution problem…
