Reminiscent of OX7, a mid-engined, (Ford BDA-powered?) seven built by John Oxborrow and featured in CCC years ago.

Is that one of those made from a swing bin? You can always tell if the designer comes from a background in the kit or performance car industry by the size of the wheels.

Gentlemen, I think you are showing you age!
I can say that cos I think I am older.
The younger kit builders will love it.

Modern in execution.

Old-fashioned (in a good way) in spirit.

Yes the SOCAL racecar looks cool and should be easy to IVA cos it's all rounded but my local scrappy said he didn't get P51 Mustang drop tanks brought in very often these days.

I quite like it, it's a bit american hot-rod to my eye.
I don't think the windscreen as rendered does it any favours.
It's a bit too low for English roads and probably has a number of IVA issues to get past (headlight height, cycle wing coverage).

While I'm not entirely against it, it has a sort of beach cruiser charm, it doesn't look like a fast car - it looks like a poser car and I'd half expect it to bounce while stationary with loud tunes coming from the wireless.

Any pose value would stop pretty quickly at the first speed bump or raised manhole cover.

You don;t drive cars like this over speed bumps, you find other ways round!

(planning a 100mm ground clearance on my own car!)
