As seen at Ashby Folville last night... It appears to be a BMW of some sort originally. Can't wait to see it finished. Rest of event pics HERE

On the bonnet you can see some business cards, they just say "Custom made cars and bikes to order" and a contact email. Suitably understated...

Brilliant!
It's a BMW Z3 under all that Roth-esque splendidness apparently.

Well that's suitably insane... can't wait to see if the paintjob lives up to it, I'm feeling various shades of metal flake.

flake's a bit 'late' for that IMO
pearl white base, some sort of crazy watson style panelwork, and lotsa flip
someone get a tax exempt scimitar and build something similar out of 'glass!

That is superb, hope the paint matches the rest, and nice to see it based on something different.

It's a BMW Z3 under all that Roth-esque splendidness apparently. Does look like a BMW M50 engine, judging by the front of the cam cover. That manifold and the use of SU's is inspired.
