How bizzare is this (how safe) :?

OH MY GOD.  8O

What a heap of junk!! Sorry, but I just dont understand why anyone would bother to try and do this?

Edit: apologies for the previously posted langauge mods. The frustration just came flooding out!

8O

maybe they thought the tt was to big and couldnt compete with the performance and superb handling of the metro   . should of just bought a mgf  :roll:

I think thats wicked. It's gona weigh next to nout and you could fit a stonking engine it. Just be a bit of fun. Obviously if you were trying to pass it off as an actual TT that would be a bit sad but it's obviously not and still looks ok. If it goes for less than a grand I reckon thats a good little project for someone

Perhaps that guy doesn't know what he's actually got.

It looks like banham x21 kit car, based on a metro, but I think its actually a complete monocoque or space frame (I can't remember which).

Properly buit the coupe version alone can go for over 5k, so don't mock  :wink:

SO THERE     

No apologies I'm afraid guys. I do realise alot of skill and graft/fun goes into making these…

… but I'd rather walk than go anywhere near that thing! Just my opinion of course

I'm with Chris on this one  

The only thing I do like about it is the colour…

Agreed, they are tacky, but people will pay silly money for them.

sounds familiar (the people payng silly money bit)

Promise I'll leave this poor little car alone soon, but I also have to point out…

Its an Automatic!      

Mcscrew if im right the colour is Audi Liquid Blue, just in case you wanted it!!!!

I can see why the current owner says it look goods at night - yes because its dark and you can't see it properly!!

yeah thats a banham kit, really good quality kit, but ive seen on in real life at stoneleigh and its a lot shorter than the audi and tbh isnt very convincing to....well...anyone. Take a look at the banham bat though i think that looks cool

Cheers dude - I'll bear that in mind for a future Mk1 project I have in mind…

just to point out it still looks better than any metro I've ever seen, I think with maybe a VVC 1.8 fro the ZR it would be kinda cool in a rovery way :? I had a metro as my first car (as such) and wish it was a bit more credable, may be this is the answer to the insurance woes of a 17 year old who desires a TT  :dontknow:

A kit car is only as good as the builder made it. I have a mate who built himself a Cobra replica (and it is a true replica, including a Ford Cobra 289 V8 ) and it is stunning. another guy has an e-type replica that he bought pre built and wasn't to shabby, but is now making it better. The Banham is a good kit, but needs to be executed properly. This one doesn't look to good - and i have a feeling it's been listed before!

I like these though.

How strange!!
The Rover Metro used to actually get faster as it aged. Yes as it rusted more and more and started falling to bits, it got lighter and could go faster
The fastest speed recorded for a Metro was actually when it was on the back of the breakdown lorry

I used to have an mg metro when i was a lad (long time ago) my mum bought it new with all the extras like steering wheel and reverse and then my brother thrashed it n i got it only lasted a few months n then gave up the ghost at 60 odd thou miles but was good in its time be it short lived.
