How did they fit a V8 in that?! surely it just wouldn't fit physically?

Except the registration ;)

I'm not a fan of the arches but I like that they've kept the rear wiper for practicality :lol:

I saw this at Goodwood, it still looks crap though.
How about not having a sig at all?

I read the fucking article you dipshits! I was merely incredulous that even pulling the dash back and fiddling with the wheelbase they managed to put a body of a Cygnet over the top without it looking like a hen party Hummer and/or actually having the doors open.

Here's a better picture than the ones in the article - it doesn't even look like the dash is that far back!

I guess with the Vantage being front-mid engined though there's a lot of air between the front of the engine and the back of the headlamps.

There is, but still.

Having a transaxle must help massively with the cabin though, less transmission tunnel needed at the front.
