Is this car going to go into production? I have always loved the schell of this car (but not interior). I wonder how much one would cost (like I could afford one!) but once, just once, I WOULD LOVE to drive up onto my works front car park with it and fuck the rest of the cars on there
It reminds a lot of the 1969 concept car Alpha Carabo. My favourite all time body schell. It too has an awful interior.

Yours

Stevan

incidentily I travel to work about a mile on a push bike!

But, I find it reprehensible that he decided to let it rust away to nothing rather than to allow it to be given/sold to someone that could have restored it to its rightful pristine condition. Just to watch it rust/dissolve away knowing full well its history and importance is crass and downright selfish - many people offered good money (and were denied) to save this unique car.
