Don't think that kind of thing's covered by the MoT Toni, so would pass. Altho the tester would hate you for all the cuts & abrasions to his person. :lol:

"I am selling this car for my dad who says he is getting to old for the car and as a pensioner its not doing his streetcred any good."

:?
So.....we have a guy of 65+ driving this......??

He obviously did not do the work himself, then, and its reasonable to suggest that a guy of 60+ would not lower himself to "failure-who-never-got-the-ferrari"-level... :roll:

Conclusion: this is the sellers car, and he's too embarrased to admit it, so he blames his poor old man....... :clap:

A hood badge by itself is humour, but those are madness!

If you are trying to replicate a Ferrari you might be better off starting with one.

This car I have seen and can confirm it is stunning,but I suppose Ferrari people are very picky on originallity...all I can say is that if I had £30k I would be very tempted...Unfortunately it has no parts whatsoever in common with an mr2 mk1... :wink:

NO MOT..??? #-o

So for £30k, you still cannot drive it home...??



If you replaced the bonnet badge with the "Eagle", you'd have a stonking MK1 MR2 replica...... :thumleft: :lol:
