Interesting curio, or munter?
Browsing the 'Bay and saw this
for sale. Now, I know that the late Seventies and early Eighties were a rather different era for the kit industry and I thank god that it has improved
so much over the last few years, so is there any place at all for something like this today? SVA'd probably give you a peptic ulcer and
it's still gonna sound like a VW Beetle when you've finished. Plus I'd imaging it'll need a horrendous amount of fettling to
get the GRP anything like.
What say you chaps/chapesses?

It's a Siva Saluki <20 made so rare.
If you ignore the weird doors it can be made to look quite smart in a mad 70's kind of way.

As it's on a beetle chassis no SVA required.

I noticed that as well. No idea what's going on unless it's been on ebay a lot with the same pictures.
If I were thinking of space framing a 70's wedge it would have to be a S1 Esprit with a LS1 V8, much more attractive car.

Good job the owner tells us it's a "not finish projek", might not have spotted that!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Weird! But,
having seen some of the finished ones done, I reckon it looks quite cool.
Give it a nice orange 'Lambo' type colour and it would certainly stand out in the car park!
Cheers,
James
