At least they tried.
 
Unfortunately it's still lipstick on a pig.

The next Rennsport...
Can you imagine loading this into a trebuchet and selling chances to guess the distance?

Why would anyone post those poor videos on a renowned sellers site like BAT ?

That was a truly bad representation of the car when he couldn't keep it running for 1 city block.

Hopefully, it's functional (relatively fast and handles well). If that's the case, then it's better than your avg 70s/80s kit car. The only thing that I find a little much is the copying of the livery. But that's not horrible either.

It's not that bad.

Noticed that too. Had to pop the clutch to re-start the engine in one of them....lol......

"The seller notes an undiagnosed fluid leak coming from the drivetrain."

It actually looks like he has a lot of money stuck into it....good luck!

I'm pretty unlikely to buy a car without driving it, but I suppose I might for certain cars. I would absolutely NOT buy something like this vehicle without being able to drive it first.

This thing is probably a riot to drive on track !! Typically Diasio D962's used a huyabusa powerplant, with a Mazda 13-B and turbocharger...wow !

I was very interested in getting one of these back when I was racing.

Why is it that when anyone posts a BAT link, I click on it, then go through all the offerings?

Hell, I know there's a zero chance I'll bid on anything.
