Obviously a lot of work and expense went into this... I don't think the styling is quite right and the description grates a bit. But that may be just me, Confused

I agree, bit too much of a bitser and it does look a little odd, something that can be levelled at a lot of homebuilts!! (not "Pigtin" mind!!! Smile)

I think it has been designed specifically for downhill travel.



A bit like some funicular railway carriages.

The bit between the front guards looks really weird,as do the seats.They seem too big,and don't look that comfortable either.
I'd rather have the E-type Very Happy

i think i'd simply rebuild the seats in a more vintage style, more curvature into the backs, and reshape the door (??) openings also to look more "Bentleyish". then that painted panel under the main lights would either come off or be painted black. the main body of the car looks very acceptable; it's those three details that bring it down IMHO. with a plain 1275 drivetrain it sounds dead reliable for a toy.

Hi
I notice that it didn't sell.

I can't quite get my head round this though.
I thought you need at least 2 passenger seats for weddings.
Bride and Father of the Bride on trip to the wedding and Bride and groom on the trip to the reception.

The seller has lowered the reserve and relisted : Rolling Eyes

Perhaps there is a trailer for the brides father, and for the groom on the way back. The seats my well conceal a roll-over cage... be fair chaps Wink
