Meant to look like this:

doesnt really work for me

Oh, the humanity!

Just another reason for not living in America

 Now that’s what I call skill, they’ve managed to combine two pretty cars and end up with one ugly one. Doesn’t do it for me, especially when put next to the original, thats a gorgeous car.

This will no doubt remain as much a rarity as the British-made Aston Martin lookie-likie “Aspire”

 

Actually I think the Aspire looks pretty cool. Why do it though?

 

Flabby backside

 

 

Or maybe this one?

Thats the Aussie effort to “improve” the looks of the MX5.

 

So far, we now have 3 reasons to avoid America, the UK and Australia. I think I can add valid reasons to not visit Japan, Germany, Poland based on dubious MX5 body conversions.

i quite like the aussie one…

 not for me

Burn him!!!

 

 

 

My eyes, my eyes!!!

How about a '65 Mustang? Possibly more abhorent to our Yank friends.

I think they’re all dreadful

Reminds me of the “MG TD” that was built out of fibreglass powered by an electric motor, max. speed 50mph. Why on earth ? Sad.  

Further to the speculation about Alpha/MX5 collaboration. An article on Motoring.co.uk forum showed an Alpha Romeo 4C,1.7l. turbo,296bhp,rear wheel drive @ £40K, still a rumour .

  Any one heard  more on this subject ?
