I think the proper cars were only ever going to be silver. And the project was canned as far as I know.

You can get 'R400' bodykits though...

Looked real enough reg said TDI but didn't smoke when I was booted

That's a lot of cash to throw at a TDI

Even the badge looked real I got a better look than the pics show and driver acted odd dropping  backwards quickly then when we slowed down shooting past even quicker

Was in NEWPORT South Wales

That one looks pretty cool!...

....But it's plate comes back to a July 2013 bluemotion SE 2.0 TDI 150ps 5 door  :evilgrin:

Very likely to be a CatC or CatD repair, seems it's more cost effective to build a 'replica' of a superior model than repair back to standard specification these days. Nearly every replica/copy these days seems to have a shady insurance history  :sick: :sick: :sick:
