OMG!!!! Not exactly a kit car but worth a mention all the same !!!

I recon Mark's been nobbled! Rich has got to him.

He's posted up 3 GRP horrors, and not a single door to be seen!

Why? I can only assume he's been bribed into protecting Rich from anyone mentioning his weird fascination for the fundamental building block of the UK kit car industry, the Marina door handle. (Such is Rich's obsession with this humble piece of automotive ironmongery that he snapped up the designer's own car, just to hold the wheel which held the pencil that drew the rectangle that became the handle...... )


What next, a Biota?



(Oh, and the Stimpson Scortcher is perhaps unique in being the only vehicle ever built which doesn't have a single angle which is attractive. Even as one disappears into the distance, the horror of it remains seared into your consciousness.)

in an ideal world the royalties for the design of the Wilmot breeden door handle should have come with that mini - I would have been quids in then!

But isn't the Stimson Scorcher just a 1960/70s of this:

I wouldn't thank you for one of those either!

Time to own up I nearly got an auto scorcher a few years back and a local boat builders had one
as a tug for the boats on trailers,oh and my mates got a stimson minibug project

Someone with a Stimpson has a friend?????

So you've wasted your cash on kit, why not waste some more on 2 extra wheels?
Not even the Banana splits would be seen driving this!
What is it with grp fumes?

Beach Buggies should be rear engine (Siva Moonbug)



Pontiffs need only apply

This is the Mini Jem estate car, It must get the ugly vote, Looks like its got a plastic pig attached to the rear
Goff

All of them

Now you are getting the hang of it!

The Jem estate gets my vote so far!

Odd how some designers get slated for a creation the Clubman and Mk2 Cortina were by the same guy and so was the Hustler and Aston Martin Lagonda Look at the nose and then the price tags

What? A Mini Firenza Droopsnot-Gremlin mongrel?

I actually like that. Get some Hi-Los on it and off you go. Literally
I actually like that som much that I'd like one. This is the Mini kit car for the proletary. Unipowers?? Pppfft, posh!

British Leyland Crompton, electric car designed by Michelloti.

Sorted it for you Unipart. Looks like the offspring of a Status 365 (them again, Rich), a Vauxhall Viva and a Rover SD1 / Ferrari Daytona.

Horrid.

But I agree with Mark, that Jem estate cannot and will not be beaten. The most odious creation I've ever clapped eyes on.

Oh, and GRP fumes are great! My garage should be full of them any day now.......

Maya GT anyone?

Peter

What do you think of this topic, Jeroen?

Another strong contender. I think the designer may have just bought a new ruler!



Or of course the sports convertible
