    I saw the car being wheeled out at the end of the day and was wondering what it was - TBH it didn't do anything for me at all, I'm afraid.

    Mind, I'm more of a classic car / classic racecar persuasion.

    Ah I wondered that that thing driving around was all about. From where I was stood (spotter's gantry) it looked lke the front end of an Aston and the rear of some '70's Caddy or something.
    If its got breasts or an engine, its gonna cost you...

    i was told by the chop shop lads, it was a audi tt front bumper, a vectra back bumper, the roof was chopped lower, and the long boot lid was a vectra roof. it still had the saab engine and interior, looked awful to me.

    I was thinking a similar thing, only that it was the front end of a TVR glued on the back. What was they thinking?
