What's the fucking point then? I thought it'd at least be road legal.

Maybe because it would never pass an IVA :hahaha:

I did notice that it was still on the original whatever the fuck it was reg.

Where has that £15,000 gone if it's not even road legal? I could have made a Zonda version of that Porsche bicycle they had on top gear for less than £1000.

Haha, I think the other reason is the Granada that the "chassis" is from, was also scrapped in 2008 - according to the DVLA!

The Granada never had a separate chassis.

I like how he wants to get it to a test track to see how fast it is....i guess as fast a Granada with an Audi V8 can go.

I'm guessing a lot slower. If the same attention to detail has been applied to the chassis and suspension design and construction then I doubt if it will hold together.

I agree. I reckon it'll start falling to bits as soon as it gets going at any real speed.

Look at the stitching on the leather interior.
