Restomod Bertone Runabout

Drivetrain feels familiar.

Do they count as pop-ups? Like a sniper peeping over the brow of a hill.....

Hmmmm - despite the claim that this isn't a new body on an existing car..... it appears to have the exposed shifter mech from a late V6 Exige, Exige stalks, and a very similar set of rotary controls for ze heatings......

This link jumps to approx 7mins in the vid : interior



Exige






edit: and I think they are Exige exterior mirrors too? And seats (with modified harness apertures).

That’s a v6 exige with a body swap, probably the left over radfords after theirs didn’t work

i don’t get it. it’s not very pretty and doesn’t seem to have any real benefit over an Exige.

You're missing the key point. It'll have a completely ridiculous price combined with some faff about being inspired by the sound of thrushes chatting and the feel of vintage screws.

I think it’s £390k or something. i watched the vid yesterday.

[Mito Man]

hmm, looks a bit shit.

i think it would be better if they just stuck to the barchetta version - it’s a very limited daft thing that will never be driven, so you might as well go the whole way and have it resembling the original.

[DeskJockey]

That's only marginally silly.

Rover metro thank you

That Peruvian windscreen and the frame and the roof all look carryover S3 too. I'm not sure the newer Hennesseys aren't still guilty of that too.

I think it looks pretty cool, like a cop car in a 1980s video game.

The price though, hmm, ok.

Dave!

Like a video game car - that's fair, it looks like a generic sports car from GTA. Not a patch on the original.
