Parked next to this in the Longbridge! Looks like a TF chassis with some metro bits, not sure about the front!

What do people think?! :yesnod:

It is an early gtm rossa shell, er, with hideous arch extension situation :dry:
maybe that one has TF running gear.. interesting.
I rebuilt one a few years back.

:oops: looks like somebody stole the parts from the factory one at a time, from different lines, then threw them all together! Not sure about the long tail but apart from that may be interesting when sprayed up.

the early ones were a series with rubber cone suspension, then they reworked the car and brought out the K3, with K series lump.

this was it:

I bet that's enough to make it go though, with those fibreglass panels.
To find the specs, is that a service you have to pay for?

The stock version (that really? posted) isn't all that bad looking. It has some subtle Porsche styling touches, but the modified one is way, way overdone...unless it has a turbo 1800 to make the performance live up to the go-faster looks!
