Yet another Miata-based counterfeit

UltimateQuestion · Jan 28, 2004

Something not quite right about this E-Type. Oh wait, its a Miata pretending to be an E-Type!

Ugh! Why bother? It's a slushbox, too.
E-Bay amazes me....next we'll be seeing an XKE remade to look like a Miata!
For what it's worth, I think my M2 looks a lot like a 7/8 scale XK-8 (maybe a bit of Ford crossover?)

Too Funny!

It looks like a one of the USS Enterprise’s “Photon Torpedoes” from the movie when Spock dies.

Can't ya just see Kirk saying: "We’ll teach those Klincons a thing or two. Scotty load the MKE!"

Notice there are no side shots - everything's on the oblique....bet its a strange looking little thing from a side view - too short in the middle, too long on ends!

Oh c'mon, you can "buy it now" for only $16,950.

Everything's worth something and if that ain't worth 17 grand, then...

Yeesh, another great car ruined.
The only thing that abomination has going for it is that it probably runs great, and is super reliable.
The E type OTOH.....

If I were to go the swoopy bodykit look on a Miata, I'd head straight for the Pitcrew Racing kit, anyway. Longtime Miatanetters will know what I'm talking about. I think you can still see pics of it over at rspeed's site.

Thats as bad as those Fiero GT40 kits they used to sell. Probably the same company.

I cant believe there are actually bids for it. I would'nt doubt if most are shill bids.
