Gordon Murray would be turning in his grave, if he where dead.

This has also cropped up on the FTO forum and someone from there phoned him pretending to be interested, heres what they got out of them :

"Well i spoke to the old fella, feel quite bad now!
He told me that it was a firms prototype, but they've gone bump! £120,000 has been spend on it (like sh1te), based on a Rover, but built with brand new Rover / Honda parts, it has a 3.5l engine, get this... it has disks all round!!!!
it needs the interia sorting and glass all round, but you can get the wind screen from some car, he didn't know which one!  
He has driven it, 'but not on the road, its a lovely drive' even without the interia WOW!
Oh and no it doesn't have the 24k gold engine that he knows of, nor do you get the McClaren bits and bobs, as 'its not really a McClaren'

The steering wheel is on the right, he wasn't aware that the driver sat in the middle  
So who's going to bid on it?
"

Well I think it's utterly fantastic! It is so bad, it's brilliant. Hilarious - inspired, grotesque, a lunatic parody that totally defies even the most minute vestage of taste. Awesome - it made my day! Just think, some c**t stepped back from it and said to himself, "I've done a good job there - looks just like the real thing".

That is fricking hillarious!  I know a dude who is, shall we say "high up at Woking"  I've got to forward this to him, he'll piss himself laughing.  What the f**k is it made from? A Trambant perhaps?

I was trying to work out why this was so bad..... but then it struck me.  I wonder what is under that huge vented bonnet? as it's based on a Beetle and the vents at the back suggest the engine is still back there.

Maybe we could use it for the Mad Friday burn-outs. Anyone's got a match?
