No mechanicals? So it's literally a shell?
I agree though, it would be an interesting project to put that on some worthwhile base.
There's a similar bodyshell at lot 320.

Cool find! Maybe pushing it a bit for road use though:
wheelbase 2735 mm / 107.7 in
length 4645 mm / 182.9 in
width 1990 mm / 78.3 in
That's a BIG car! But as a trackday weapon on a bespoke chassis it'd be very, very cool indeed.

An eye watering amount 😂 . I imagine it was bought by a collector who probably never drives cars in the collection so it makes no
difference that it's got no mechanicals. There were some nice cars in the auction, I rather fancied the Alfa which sold for a mere £33k

There is a very good Bentley replica that was produced in eastern europe. Looks identical to this and about 5% of the price. There is one for sale on
Race cars direct at the moment .... I was going to supply an engine for it but it looks like the builder has given up.
I have spent the day rubbing down my own car's bodywork in preparation for a mould.... do you think as it is a LMP clone with a few stickers I
could sell a few for over £100k?
