The top rear edge of the door is rounded like a 2 door would be, the rear of the cab looks different. Is it a homebrew or from a different country? It an Australian Austin A50 Coupe Utility I really feel like I should have already known that, but I didnt, and I do now. Thanks. Id like to see those doors on a 2dr saloon.

	Look at how nice the Maxi prototype was before it got it's 'Clubman'-style straight grille. Cut and shut landcrab - but so pretty. Would drive an electric one of these all day long.

	I was looking for a pic of an MGA for the cafe racer thread as it struck me that they could be a good base for a cafe racer, but what I found was a whole world of goodness, and whilst it may be pre-leyland, they are getting dumped here. Not a cobra Same wheels, could be the same car Not a merc. Cafe racer. Extremely cafe racer I'm not sure why you would, but I'm glad somebody did. Gotta love that scoop. Again, not a cobra. I cant even tell if this is real or not. I don't actually care. HELL YEAH!!

	Never been a massive rubber bumper MG fan but seeing them in the country they were designed for has made me think again. They just all need hitting with the lowering stick! 😂

	Morris Minors. I don't think theres much that hasnt been done. Quite extreme Fugly, but you would. This one makes me think cafe racer. Who doesnt love a gasser? So so slick. Not real, but it should be. I think this might be my favourite. I cant help but think this would work even better as a convertable, but its still awesome. Love the way this sits. YESSSSSSS. ?

	TR6's. You don't see enough of them. This looks like it means business. Needs arches, but yes. Very much so. Mean. I mean, mean. That TR3 though.....

	Now, I cant say I get the whole burnout thing, but I love the ridiculousness of the cars and the photos. I really really really realllly want this one. Really. I probably wouldnt be able to shoehorn myself into it, but I still want it.
