That used to (or might still?) belong to a French guy called David Seban, he has done a few mk1`s with "porsche" overtones, he also did a Gul wing doored mk1 in the mid 90`s

For him, its overtaking though - because he drives on the wrong side…..
Anyway….back to the car….
There's elements of it I like - the roadster bodystyle behind the rear seats, the generally smooth lines and the grille. But that front bumper is hideous. Also he's managed to make a cabby even more impractical!

ugly car
why would anyone do that to a mk1 :dontknow:
i can understand putting a clipper kit on a early mk1 ( not that i would :roll: ) but to do that, nearly brings tears to my eyes

Pauls right though!

what, so you cant use the outside lane now? i was probably in it avoiding all the nerds in insipid cars in the other 4 lanes! and No he didnt flash me! AT the speed he was going it wouldnt have mattered i wouldnt have seen it besides that i wasnt racing him he came from no where, my Rallye was 225 bhp so it was no slouch, it would have only been weight of cars that gave him an advantage if we were racing
back on the subject of the car, up close that car is a bit of a mish mash, seen it a few times, the front end is appaling, really bad shut lines and a Rallye grille just dont fit mk1`s properly im afraid, i dont like it anyway……….what do you expect being built by a garlic eating surrender monkey :wink:

Just been in my loft and found the article in April 2002`s PVW about this car………..and guess what………
It was a TIN TOP car to start with read the "OUTSIDE" text on the Dub Details pic so he hasnt ruined a cabriolet after all
the back "cover" is all reworked and it still has its series 2 large rear lamps on
its also running a mid engined VR6 lump though 8O :wink:

Pray tell, what's so impractical about a Cabby?
There's as much interior space as in a tintop and the boot isn't compromised by the roofing roof at all so…
As for the car, not my kinda thing but it is stunningly well executed.

I own both a cabby and a 3 door Golf. The boot is the main thing which makes it more impractical - I've been shopping with both cars!

I went on holiday with the wife and two kids last summer to Cornwall for a break. The only impractical thing was that I couldn't fit the kids in the boot with the luggage. But the again I couldn't do that even if I had taken the Volvo so no difference there.
Oh, and I don't do the shopping, I've got a Mrs Tian for that.
