Isn't a "replica" suposed to bear at least some resemblence to what it is suposed to replicate?

It is a relicar of the Testarosa...and likely all show and no go...the least they could have done was a V6 conversion when the put the 1967 engine in it...why a MGB engine in an MGA Chasis and drivchain??? It should have a V-8!!! He says it really screams...must be that fart can that makes it sound like it, but I bet there are many stock MGB's that would blow it's doors off /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

He should have taken one of those "previous offers of $35,000" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazyeyes.gif

I agree with Bruce! If you are going to spend that much money and time at least put some muscle in the thing. I could get used to the dash but the front view looks too much like a bull frog to me!

Lets take up a collection, buy the car and have it crushed in a solemn dignified ceremony

That one doesn't hold a candle to the worst one I've ever seen!

Never saw it in person, but a friend saw an MGA in Winnipeg that had a - hold your breath now - huge continental kit on the back! It was parked up, off the road, in someone's yard.

Unfortunately the picture of it is lost in the sands of time, his computer was destroyed in a house fire destroying all his computer files, and unfortunately I never saved the picture he e-mailed me.

But just imagine anyway in disgust what that car looked like...

Yup!

That drag racer is pretty bad... Even as a drag racer it doesn't look quite right /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif

I must say the drag car is worse. The eBay "replica" is just stupid. There seems to be no shortage of people with more time and money than brains and good taste. Why do they always create these monstrosities and then try to sell them? They always try to convince you how great the car is and how everyone who sees it loves it and how much it kicks ass. If it's so great, why wouldn't they keep it? It never ceases to amaze and disappoint me.
