I admire classic American stuff but I'd feel a bit of a berk driving one in the UK, they mostly seem to be driven by a certain sort too, sorry :oops:

It’s a 100% accurate description I feel. I got completely put off by older Corvettes after seeing the owners club down at Brands Hatch a few times :lol:

The mustang is in my euromillions’s garage purely so I can look at it start it up and listen to it. It’s in no way shape or form a practice car

Not sure I should post an American V8 engined car now, but it's better looking than most :D

Elan, maybe Elite? I can see. Triumph though? Edit - ah GT6.

That's fantastic 8-)

Question though - given the pop-ups would you need to IVA it if you went down that route? And would it fail?

Probably would fail if it needed one due to the radius on the raised edges.

If it’s technically just a bodykit and doesn’t need structural modifications then it shouldn’t be classed as ‘substantially modified’ and wouldn’t need an iva as far as I know.

I think it looks pretty good.

I also like the rocket bunny 200sx which gives the front a 70s charger / Camaro vibe.

The front end looks a whole lot better than the back end.
