I quite like it... just needs some different wheels on it, and maybe an engine swap to a hayabusa, and it would be perfect

The selection of vehicles, sales, and after-care offered by Sovereign Cars is second to none.

With regards to this car (I'm sure someone will be along in a minute to confirm) it looks like Sovereign have recently bought this from the owner who was selling it on Pistonheads a couple of months ago.

Stop the press... It looks like they're able to sell it SVA'd at an extremely reasonable price too!!! The original advert was asking a lot more for SVA. Guess Sovereign will have undertaken this work?

Personally I love the thing! The graphics won't be to everyone's taste but it's a whole bundle of (road-going) trackday fun for 12k.

Go for it! (and then offer me a passenger ride)

seen it before, very in your face but I'm sure kids would love it. Most would assume it is based on a car from a game or older folk would think 'Whats an X-Box?'

There is a guy in aberdeen with graphix like that on his BMW very wild.

agree about the wheels, too plain, perhaps if they were two tone in the darker green of the bonnet, or chrome jobbys.

9/10

check the effect of the graphics from the back!

Think Jon Ison is your man - he had one. Am sure he'll be along at some stage.

Have a look here anyway in the mean time

a lot of trouble to go to to slap pixelated graphics all over it. wasn't there gran turismo one kicking about too? i think i preferred that one colours wise.

jon's GT1 in silver and holoflake looked much better.
all imho of course.

We know what an X-Box is, you cheeky young bugger!

Any sponsorship to go with the graphics? That could mean a much cheaper car.

WTF http://www.sovereigncarsales.co.uk/Sports_Gridpos11.aspx

£30k for something that, allegedly, isn't a kitcar, but looks like a really badly designed 70's kit "Value for money" my ar$e.
Even the colour is horrible.
