Yuk!

On a similar note, can you believe this?

Bloke takes a very pretty 1930s car and:

"A 2ltr Pinto engine has replaced the original Daimler 2ltr"

I was looking at it thinking "Hang on a minute...!"

How about this one - notice anything odd?

Re Riley 1.5/Wolseley 1500.......

Rear side windows promise to be a different shape on each side.

'Shopping' is a wonderful black art that is quite beyond me, but I wonder why so many artist' miss the obvious!

Hi
I have wondered about the possibility of making an MGA E utilising the roof and rear of an A40 Farina, must be countryman version.

I know the photoshopping is atrocious, it's just give you an idea what I mean.
