I don't think it's a very good Ferrari copy & I don't think it would fool anybody. But I do like some elements of the kit though. It would be nice as just a 944 conversion and not try to make it look too Ferrariish. Take a look at how much the guy wants for it.... £12,995 I don't think so.

I wonder what it looks like with the roof up?

Aye, take off the Ferrari badges and the lookalike wheels … it would leave quite a nice customised Porsche. You could even respray it a different colour.

A very confused car :shock: rebadge it and with cup alloys, remove the fake rear louvres, :cyclops: quite like the tail end and door scoops, keep the rear seats and tonneau but you still end up with a chav S2

Yeah, do all of that but use an old, cheap 924 and you'll end up with a cool, cheap, fun & useable summer motor that'll attract more attention at a meet than a Carrera G.T. (Well, maybe not a Carrera G.T., but you get the drift.)

I wonder how much the kit costs?

Now come on Lindsay, you liked that Fiat 500 thingy. I know what I'd rather have.

i only said i prefer the 500 to the beetle, there is a ferrari replicar based on a MR2 which looks terrible, also don't know how to post but if you google voodoo sportscars they produce a cool looking car and its based in brum area

924 Cabby? The 944 above isn't a modified cabby, they've just cut the roof off a coupe! Check out the dashboard. I've never seen a cab with the old style dash before.

A few 924's have been turned into cabby's. I'm not sure if the factory built a couple as well?
