Rat look cars is something I'll NEVER understand...

If it even was road legal I’m struggling to see where the radiator would get any air from

Wow that's tragic - looks like they've done a decent job of the interior though. Imagine all the great cars you could have bought with the the £50k (guessing) it took to kit out that Cougar.

I mean.... I genuinely don't know where to start with that....

I didn't even realise that was still a thing. I don't think I've seen something like that in about 25 years - was there not a very short-lived trend of using Toyota MR2s to look like very out-of-proportioned/wonky 355s?

I'm confused, a Cougar is front engine and FWD so unless they've done one hell of a re-engineering job...

I started to wonder just how much they would have spent on it and what you could have had?

A £10k MR2 F355 appealed to me for about a day when I was a wide-eyed 17 year old.

I don’t know why anyone would want one. The embarrassment of having to confess that it’s not a real one to anyone who said ‘nice Ferrari’ would be crippling.

I suspect that wouldn’t happen too often

Obviously the angle is a little different, but it makes you realise how the details are actually ok, but even small differences in proportion just turn a beautiful car into absolute dogshit! The whole Ford cougar glass house is hilariously bad!

The panel gap round the bonnet?

C8UGR ?

I wonder what value a 1 owner 30k V6 Cougar has/will have in the future?
The interior work's
I was going to comment on the tragic number of badges until I remembered that's what the real ones are like.

Nice Sunbeam in the background.

It’s probably a modified mk1 Fiesta with Lotus stripes….

1971 Beetle with a Subaru turbo engine. I bet that's.... "interesting" to drive ? Looks like they've done a nice job of it though.
