One begins to wonder whether in fact there even was anything special inside that engine then.....

Aparently its sitting in a barn in Aussie gathering dust, never been fired up.

Can't say I'm suprised really. To give it the 'deloomed' look, they probably just took it out altogether. I doubt it could fire up if they tried!

Yuck! It needs to be pushed down a large hill.

That’s the thing I can't understand about show cars, they spend sooo much time/money and then never get to enjoy it. Weird.

And also ewwwww that’s truly ugly.

[NFORCA]

Maybe the enjoyment is in the building of it, not driving it. Different strokes for different folks I guess.

It is a car. Car need to be driven, if some one builds the car and can't drive, why not build something else, it is really disapointing with all those show cars having done lots of stuff to their engines but they can't drive due to legal or for simple reason that they are too low, have to much plastic (which will fall off on the first speed bump), or wheels are too big that they can't turn at all inside the guards.

yeah may as well stick to kitset models

engine/car was built by the online team for a customer i'm pretty sure.
they were pissed off that they had put so much work into it, and it was never run, so decided to build a car with a similar engine set-up, but their own way. that car was teh online crx del-sol (that australian orange one) which set the FWD record at the time straight off the trailer i beleive

nah, it first ran at the nats here in 2002, broke a few axles and that was that.

Things seem to be abit different with show cars over here tho - all the previous years ones i can think of are being driven now they've finished their tour of duty.
