Item number: 160435156195
linky
its been on here before. Its clear someone has put some effort in to it, but the lines are appalling imo
A what? replica
ouch, ouch, my eyes, my eyes!!! GT40 Replica!! More like a replica of a polished turd???
Surely if its a Dutton it would be based on a mk2 Escort, sorry all couldnt resist
I couldn't see the resemblance but my mrs could apparently
Ooooh that's nasty. You wonder why they went to all the trouble of building it without bothering to get accurate plans made up.
Well, I suppose it's very vaguely GT40 shaped, and to be honest it's not *that* bad looking. If you squint a bit.
You aren't going to get anything like a decent GT40 replica for £6k anyway. I'd certainly rather drive this than the Beetle based Countach
replica I saw at Exeter a few years back.

I agree, if it wasn't called a gt40 replica and had it's own name nobody would be having this reaction, a replica, it is not, though
No ones's mentioned the fact the engine's in the back end. Which dutton chassis is that based on then?
If it's been chopped around enough to move the engine I doubt it's legal (unless it's had an SVA/IVA in its current configuration) and
is just another V5 donor job.
If you read the Q&A, it's a Tornado using Dutton credentials...

But the tornado was a good looking GT40 replica wasn't it???
