Interesting middy bodywork up for grabs
I was suprised to see this - I was looking at the actual car a week ago and didn't realise it was for sale.

i think its ugly
no rear to it, no space for an engine, just wastes away. cabin too small, as if the rear was cut out and the front bent over.
Sorry, not for me

I thought I recognized the car until I saw it was in the UK. There's one that looks just like it around here... What's interesting is
the guy said his was the only one made from the mold. Different mold?
Let me find that picture... here:

That US car is a Porsche....and instantly recognisable as such. Some similar styling cues but the bodywork is very different.

Okay fair enough, though only the shell is Porsche, the rest is homebuilt tube-frame and Chevy V8. Rather disappointing actually... could have at
least used the BMW V12.

That GTS is very pretty, especially from that angle.

I knew the car looked familiar. I saw the Invicta S1 at the NEC in 2002. The GTS shares similar lines
