    I don't know from where those tail lights come from, but the mirrors are from a CX and the engine and gearbox from a Renault 25. It's a great car almost totally made from parts.

    It's a beautiful machine. I'd love one.

    Anyone got specs on it?

    I'm guessing turbocharged 2975cc PRV V6...

    Why would you pay that much money for something so average?

    It must be a pretty good drive, or really comfortable for that price! Do they have them in the U.S.??
