Project anyone?

This is nice and I always wanted one back in the day.

I'm a big fan of these. I think they're the ones that had a switch on the dash marked "Extra" or similar in case the owner wanted to wire in soemthing extra of their own choosing at a later time. Brilliant, but also bonkers

I'd say it's a bloody good job you did

I'll bet its bloody good fun though

[dave the builder]

No mention of the bald rear tyres 
why people insist on fitting crappy cone filters I will never know 
does look like a fun car though


always something to fix , always tinkering ,a hobby , but I guess that is what a project car is

Far canal .. I bet that's lively to drive!

Reminds me of Guy Martin's Volvo, but with more cylinders: https://www.driving.co.uk/news/guy-martin-on-his-volvo-fastest-car-in-britain/

Although something strikes me about his Volvo - if you chop the tunnel out to fit the gearbox, doesn't that constitute modification of the unibody, meaning it should have then been through an IVA?

In terms of self-driving and lectrickery, that might not be everyone's cup of tea .. but that is quite the project! Hats off to the students (I assume) at Stanford.

Anything beats a PRV V6. Even if it can only drive you round in circles.

Autonomous doughnuts!    Whatever next!

it is French. And it was supposed to be a V8, which explains the vee angle and complex ignition system. Despite all that, I'd still take one over an Essex.

As long as it's in an engine bay large enough to work on it

Fair comment.

[Doctor Gollum]

Was it not based on the Maserati lump used in the SM etc?

Regardless, at least Renault had the decency to slap a turbo on it

Manta GT/e. Just needs a bit of T cut.
