Hmmmmmmmm Shiny!
It seems this car was built as a labour of love but once it was finished after 15 years hard work........
Hell stick it on E-bay! I'm not sure Caterhams and similar race bread kit cars are really meant to be quite this bling! But I like it anyway! |

I would have a hard time deciding what color to paint it. Maybe silver.

Very nice work! He must have worked on airplanes or race cars in the past.

You'd need a welders mask to drive that thing on a sunny Arizona day...

What a beautiful job he did. Beautiful but unfortunately impractical. You'd blind yourself and everyone else at the track, which is where that car belongs.
I wonder what it weighs? I wonder what the dyno sheet says? Most of all, I wonder how this guy could have spent all that time and money and not even taken it out for one or two fast laps

I like it!
If you see a fully polished Jag or Cobra at a car show do you consider it bling?

Back when I had my 911 I had to pull a quick Uey one day to pull into a Starbucks because I had just seen one pull into starbucks. It had a polished hood, but the rest was Lotus Green. It was an original '71-73 (can't remember) with a 190hp Toyota engine. I'm guessing it was a screamer. The guy was meeting another guy with a 7 there and they were going to talk Lotus. They each also had Esprits. I'd love to have a 7 as a toy.
