Title: MR2 Variant - the Modellista Caserta,
Post by: abbot on October 26, 2020, 08:08
Here's an MR2 related curiosity I'd not seen before so thought I'd share - https://twitter.com/addict_car/status/1320280542328295424?s=19 (https://twitter.com/addict_car/status/1320280542328295424?s=19)

Not sure about the styling on this one, got to say I prefer the MR2's looks!

I'm seeing shades of tvr at the front and ferrari influence at the rear.
Not keen on the nose treatment.

Looks like a ram raid at a parts store. MGF nose, Puma headlights, Alfa side panels, Lambo/ Ferrari rear.
Reminds me of the VW Harlequin with different panels rather than different panel colours.

Hmm

Why buy a MR2 and then rebuild it to look something completely different ?
I bought mine because it is a MR2

Looks awesome. 2ZZ swap and that would be a perfect car.
