Awesome! It reminds me of a similar thing you could have done to a mk2 jag but with XJR underpinnings. Dave!

I love the theory - some more appropriate wheels would help the reality.

Nasty alloys and looked better with the original BMW badges on.

Obviously the alloys have been designed to give clues as to what has been done  .

Hate the concept of doing that sort of thing. Struggling to dislike the result though.

You don't think the V8 badges and 4 exhausts give a bit of a clue?

I just hope the donor car was unsalvageable mechanically.

I like the concept but it really needs a more suitable interior. Just looks wrong.
