F40 barn find?

'Dont confuse this with a crap kit car'

 

MMMMMMM that engine shot. Convincing. Not.

 

Actually, viewed from a distance, it's not too different from the real thing (at a very high level of body-work similarity anyway), with the wheels, engine, incorrectly placed headlights and rear windscreen being particular disappointments....

It would still amuse me to buy it for a couple of grand (surely not worth any more) and see how many marshalls at trackdays and FOC gatherings could actually spot the difference. (Of course I'd have to trailer it everywhere and never start it, as you could hear the difference from a mile away - "V6 roar", don't make me laugh.)

As the advert says, your neighbours would be unlikely to know the difference. Still plastic junk, though.

Now this is real f40 barn find... spotted not long ago when on a dyno day, the unassuming back street garage had this, plus a 360 and several GT3s... you would never have known from the outside!

Mk1 M3? I think you mean E30 M3....please surrender your anorak at the next train platform!

 

I'm laughing a lot at....

Q: iv gotta 1997 ford escort 1.8 TD CL. let me know what you think anyway regards, matt

A: YES MATE THATS JUST WHAT I,M LOOKING FOR AS LONG AS THERES 10 GRAND IN THE GLOVE BOX WHEN YOU DELIVER IT

 

Classic!


The bodywork looks similar, but as with most replicas they have screwed up the ride height and the wheels dont fill the arches. Next to a picture of a real one, its completely lacks aggression.

 

Nice replica bud.

Struggling to see the pontiac Fiero underneath tho'

 

Tks

No Fiero underneath. Bespoke Noble chassis with Cossie motor.

Yet again I have been found to be lacking in the anorak department.... 'least I didn't say it was an E36 (ie mk2!!!) Consider the weather-proofed outer coat-like garment to now be in our F-chat Room 101. Isn't the Noble P4 lovely though!
